EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Saint Jerome penitent - The Penitent Saint Jerome" by Jacopo del Sellaio. Painted in the 15th century during the Italian Renaissance, this oil on wood masterpiece measures 66.5x91.5 cm and is housed at the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. The image captures Saint Jerome in a moment of deep contemplation and repentance, surrounded by a barren desert landscape with towering mountains and rocky outcrops. His solitude is emphasized as he kneels before an altar adorned with a Bible, symbolizing his devotion to Christianity. A tawny lion rests peacefully beside him, representing his ability to tame worldly desires through spiritual discipline. In the background, we see a crucifix reminding us of Christ's sacrifice for humanity's sins. Saint Jerome's iconic attribute, a skull or vanitas symbolizes mortality and serves as a reminder of life's transience. This powerful depiction evokes feelings of introspection and humility while highlighting the saint's commitment to prayer and self-reflection. Jacopo del Sellaio masterfully captures both the physical details of nature and emotional depth within this painting, making it an exceptional example of Quattrocento artistry. It stands as a testament to religious devotion during this period while showcasing Sellaio's skillful technique. This print from Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable piece without commercial use restrictions
