This print, "Mountainous Landscape with Saint Jerome" transports us to a serene and mystical world. Painted by Brill or Bril in 1592, this oil on copper panel captures the essence of solitude and devotion. At the center of the composition stands Saint Jerome, a revered figure in Christian history. Known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, he is depicted here in deep prayer and penance amidst an imaginary landscape.

The scene takes on an ethereal quality as we witness Saint Jerome's act of compassion towards a wounded lion. Legend has it that he cured the majestic creature by removing a thorn from its paw. This powerful image reminds us of the healing power found within acts of kindness. Brill's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing nature's beauty with precision. From rocky cliffs to flowing rivers and distant bridges, each element adds depth to this Renaissance masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where faith meets nature's grandeur. It serves as a reminder that even in solitude, one can find solace and purpose through devotion and compassion.
