EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite bas-relief representing the miracle of St. Jerome with the lion, sculpted by Jacopo della Quercia. The artwork is a significant part of the altar inside the Cappella Trenta, located in the Church of S. Frediano in Lucca. Dating back to 1400-1438, this early Renaissance masterpiece showcases Della Quercia's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The photograph itself was taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli. The bas-relief depicts St. Jerome, a revered figure in Christian religion and known for his scholarly achievements as well as his connection with animals. In this particular scene, he stands fearlessly before a majestic lion, showcasing both astonishment and surprise at their harmonious encounter. The male figure is dressed in religious attire - a habit adorned with a hat or headdress that reflects elements from civilian, military, and religious fashion styles of that era. As an individual deeply connected to spirituality and faith, St. Jerome exudes an aura of reverence through his posture and expression. Not only does this artwork showcase Della Quercia's mastery in sculpture but it also highlights various physiological and psychological aspects such as fear and astonishment within human psychology when faced with extraordinary situations. With its intricate details carved into low relief sculptures using Renaissance-Baroque styles prevalent during that time period across Europe, this bas-relief serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. Overall, this remarkable photograph immortalizes Della Quercia's masterpiece while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of artistry intertwined with religious symbolism from centuries past.
