EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite Altar of San Girolamo (St. Jerome) in all its Renaissance glory. Located in the church of San Domenico Maggiore, Naples, this sculptural masterpiece is attributed to the talented Tommaso Malvito. The photograph was taken around 1900, while the artwork itself dates back to approximately 1476-1508. The altar showcases a harmonious blend of Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that were prevalent across Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. Its intricate details and craftsmanship are truly awe-inspiring. In this image, one can observe various elements that contribute to its overall magnificence. A majestic lion stands prominently at one side, symbolizing strength and power. Surrounding it are terrestrial mammals and vertebrates that add life-like realism to the scene. At the center of attention is St. Jerome himself, depicted as a wise old man engrossed in his studies with a Bible nearby. This representation highlights his significant role in translating biblical texts into Latin. Flanking him on either side are figures such as Virgin Mary, Archangel Gabriel, angels representing annunciation moments from the life of Christ—all contributing to an immersive portrayal of Christian religious subjects. The artist's skillful execution is evident through every carefully carved detail—whether it be capturing emotions on human faces or rendering delicate features like clothing folds or facial expressions. This remarkable print by Alinari Fratelli allows us to appreciate not only Malvito's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into European art history during this period characterized by profound spiritual devotion and cultural transformation.
