EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "St. Jerome as a Penitent" by Jacopo del Sellaio, created around 1590. The artwork, rendered in tempera on walnut, measures 55x36.3 cm and is housed at the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg, Germany. In this depiction of St. Jerome, we witness his profound penitence and devotion to his faith. Kneeling before a rugged landscape, he is portrayed with remarkable detail and emotion. His bare torso reveals the physical hardships endured during his life of solitude as a hermit. A majestic lion stands beside him, symbolizing St. Jerome's legendary ability to tame wild beasts through divine intervention. This powerful imagery represents the saint's spiritual triumph over earthly desires. With a cap adorning his head and surrounded by books and textbooks that signify his scholarly pursuits, St. Jerome appears deep in contemplation while clutching a crucifix close to his heart. The composition further enhances the narrative by placing our protagonist within the confines of a cave-like setting—a metaphorical representation of seclusion from worldly distractions. This stunning portrayal captures both the inner turmoil and unwavering dedication of St. Jerome's spiritual journey towards redemption. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary print for art enthusiasts who appreciate religious symbolism intertwined with exceptional craftsmanship.
