EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fol. 310v St. Jerome, a remarkable piece of art from the 15th century Flemish School. The image is extracted from the Book of Hours of Don Duarte, an exquisite vellum manuscript housed in the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo in Lisbon, Portugal. In this scene, we witness St. Jerome immersed in his study, surrounded by an aura of wisdom and serenity. Dressed in cardinal robes and wearing his iconic hat, he sits at a beautifully illuminated desk adorned with intricate details. A magnificent lion rests peacefully at his side, symbolizing the saint's legendary ability to tame wild beasts through kindness. St. Jerome was not only a prominent figure within Christianity but also one of the most influential scholars and theologians of his time. Known as the Doctor of the Church, he dedicated himself to translating biblical texts into Latin and played a crucial role in shaping Christian doctrine. The craftsmanship displayed in this medieval manuscript is truly awe-inspiring; every stroke reveals meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery. This particular print captures both the religious devotion embodied by St. Jerome and the skillful illumination techniques employed by its creators. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its enduring beauty that continues to captivate audiences today.
