The story of The Last Communion of Saint Jerome
The scene follows the medieval Epistle of Eusebius to Damasus, which tells how the dying Jerome asked his companions to help him to his knees to receive the host. The text had become popular in Italy through several reprints between 1471 and 1487. Botticelli painted the panel for Francesco del Pugliese, a noted follower of Girolamo Savonarola.

Sandro Botticelli
Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli or simply Botticelli, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century, when he was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites who stimulated a reappraisal of his work. Since then, his paintings have been seen to represent the linear grace of late Italian Gothic and some Early Renaissance painting, even though they date from the latter half of the Italian Renaissance period.
