EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jacopo Bassano's masterpiece, "St. Jerome" painted in the early 1560s. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 119x154 cm and is currently housed at the Gallerie dell Accademia in Venice, Italy. In this thought-provoking painting, St. Jerome is depicted as an elderly figure with a long white beard, engrossed in deep contemplation. He sits amidst a wilderness of solitude and sacrifice, surrounded by symbolic elements such as a translated Bible, an hourglass reminding us of the fleeting nature of time, and a stone representing his ascetic lifestyle. The presence of a skull serves as a memento mori—a reminder of mortality—while a crucifix stands tall behind him, symbolizing his unwavering devotion to Christianity. St. Jerome's pensive expression suggests that he is immersed in profound spiritual reflection. Bassano skillfully captures the essence of this revered saint through meticulous brushwork and masterful use of light and shadow. The rich colors bring depth to every detail within the composition. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows art enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Bassano's work while immersing themselves in the contemplative world of St. Jerome—an enduring testament to faith and introspection that transcends time itself.
