Description
Saint Jerome the Penitent, Attributed to Juan de Sariñena, Aragonese School, 17th century Oil on panel. Dimensions: 20 x 16 cm. Saint Jerome appears lost in meditation before the crucifix, his torso bare and partially covered by a deep red cloak that accentuates the drama of the scene. On the table lie an open book and a skull, symbols of study, penance and reflection on the fleeting nature of life. His gaze, raised towards the cross, expresses profound spiritual fervour, whilst the directed lighting highlights the saint’s anatomy and creates powerful contrasts rooted in the tenebrist style. The precise brushwork and balanced rendering of the flesh tones demonstrate remarkable technical skill within the Spanish Baroque tradition. The composition effectively synthesises the ascetic ideals of the Counter-Reformation, transforming the image into an intense manifestation of religious devotion and mystical contemplation. Dimensions: 20 x 16 cm.
