EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of "St. Jerome" by the Flemish School in the 17th century. Measuring 130x98 cm, this oil on wood masterpiece is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dunkirk, France. The painting depicts St. Jerome, a prominent figure known as a Doctor of the Church and translator of the Bible into Latin. With an air of wisdom and contemplation, he sits at his desk engrossed in writing and translating sacred texts. His bearded face reflects his advanced age and thoughtful demeanor. Surrounded by books, papers, and ink pots, St. Jerome's studious nature is evident as he diligently works to preserve knowledge for future generations. A skull placed on his desk serves as a memento mori - a reminder of mortality amidst scholarly pursuits. Draped in cardinal robes that symbolize his high ecclesiastical rank, St. Jerome exudes authority and reverence through this exquisite portrayal captured by the anonymous Flemish artist. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the technical skill but also the profound symbolism embedded within this artwork from centuries past. It invites us to reflect upon our own pursuit of knowledge and contemplate life's transience while admiring one of history's great scholars immortalized on canvas.
