Description
Attributed to Jacopo Palma the Younger (1544–1628) Important Saint Jerome
Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 104 x 84 cm. The composition depicts Saint Jerome in seclusion, meditating beside an open book and holding a skull, symbols of reflection on the transience of life and spiritual preparation. The figure is enveloped in a powerful chiaroscuro that draws the eye to the saint’s anatomy, modelled with great sculptural force, whilst the lion, a traditional attribute of the hermit, emerges in the foreground. The background landscape adds depth and a luminous counterpoint to the scene. The execution reveals characteristics of 17th-century Baroque naturalism, with particular emphasis on psychological expressiveness, contrasts of light and shadow, and devotional intensity. The quality of the drawing and the solidity of the forms place the work within the Hispanic religious tradition of the period, standing out for its contemplative power and profound symbolic content. Dimensions: 104 x 84 cm.
