Life and work

Girolamo da Santacroce was born in Bergamo, Italy. He became in Venice a pupil of the painter Gentile Bellini. On Gentile's death in 1507, Santacroce was left in Gentile's will half of the Oriental drawings made be Gentile. Santacroce then most likely worked as an assistant in the workshops of Giovanni Bellini and Cima da Conegliano.Anchise Tempestini. "Santacroce, Girolamo da." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online.

He was a prolific artist and many of his works are signed and dated. He produced many copies after the works of the leading Venetian masters. His work shows the influence of Titian and Palma Vecchio.

He is represented at the Musei Civici of Vicenza by a Madonna con il Bambino tra i santi Cosma e Damiano(?)[http://www.museicivicivicenza.it Musei Civici Vicenza]. It is unclear if he is related to a sculptor named Girolamo Santacroce in Naples.
