EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting depicts Saint Jerome, a renowned early Christian Father and Doctor of the Church, created by the Venetian artist Domenico Tintoretto II during the Renaissance period in the late 16th century. Saint Jerome, born in 347 AD in present-day Croatia, is known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, which became the standard text for the Western Church. In this artwork, the elder Saint Jerome is shown in deep contemplation, surrounded by the desert landscape of the Middle East. He is seated under a cedar tree, with a lion at his feet, symbolizing his taming of the wild beasts and his strength and courage. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition of this Cinquecento masterpiece, housed in the Barberini Palace and National Gallery of Ancient Art in Rome, Italy, transport us back to the early modern era and offer a glimpse into the pious and intellectual world of Saint Jerome and the Europeans of the Western Peninsula during the late antique and medieval periods.
