EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures the essence of Saint Jerome in a moment of peaceful slumber within his cave. The saint, known for his devotion and ascetic lifestyle, is depicted leaning with his arm and head resting on a rugged rock. A skull and crucifix adorn this makeshift pillow, symbolizing mortality and Christ's sacrifice. In front of him lies an open book, representing Jerome's scholarly pursuits as one of the Church Fathers. Behind him, two putti gracefully hover on a cloud while a majestic lion stands by their side. These figures allude to the saint's legendary companionship with animals during his time as a monk and hermit. The artist Hieronymus skillfully portrays Saint Jerome's attributes throughout this composition - from the cardinals hat to the hour-glass that reminds us of life's fleeting nature. The stone mentioned in Lorenzo Loli's inscription adds an intriguing element to this piece. Dating back to 1622-1691 Italy, this paper print showcases Hieronymus' mastery in capturing both physical details and spiritual depth through counterproof technique. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into Saint Jerome's world - witnessing not only his physical rest but also experiencing the tranquility that comes from living a life dedicated to faith and contemplation.
