EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Jerome in his study" transports us to a world of intellectual pursuit and contemplation. Created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer in 1514, this print captures the essence of the Northern Renaissance with its meticulous attention to detail. In this scene, we find St Jerome immersed in his scholarly sanctuary. The room is adorned with various objects that reflect both his devotion and worldly knowledge. A large window bathes the space in soft light, illuminating a collection of books neatly arranged on shelves. An hourglass reminds us of the passage of time as St Jerome delves into his studies. A faithful companion rests at St Jerome's feet - a loyal dog who seems equally engrossed in their master's work. Nearby, a majestic lion symbolizes courage and strength, perhaps representing St Jerome's spiritual journey. The study itself is filled with fascinating details: an assortment of belongings including hats and walking sticks; a skull serving as a reminder of mortality amidst scholarly pursuits; and carefully chosen furnishings that create an atmosphere conducive to deep thought. Dürer's mastery shines through every stroke, capturing not only physical likeness but also conveying emotion and intellect through intricate lines. This print serves as a testament to Dürer's skill as well as an enduring representation of one man's quest for knowledge within the context of faith. Displayed proudly at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this engraving invites viewers to step into St Jerome's world – where scholarship
