EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of Saint Jerome, taken from a facsimile of the Breviary of King Philip II of Spain. Created in 1569 by Julian Fuente del Saz and Andres de Leon, this piece is an exquisite example of Spanish Renaissance artistry. The image portrays Saint Jerome as an elderly hermit immersed in his studies. With a manuscript open before him, he appears deeply engrossed in his intellectual pursuits. The landscape surrounding him adds to the serene ambiance, evoking a sense of solitude and contemplation. The illumination technique used to bring this artwork to life is truly remarkable. Every intricate detail on the parchment comes alive through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The miniature painting captures the essence of Saint Jerome's penitent nature, with his skull symbolizing mortality and vanitas. This particular print originates from the private collection but has historical significance as it was part of King Philip II's personal breviary housed at Biblioteca Monasterio El Escorial in Madrid. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence during that era. As we gaze upon this masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance and skillful craftsmanship that defined Renaissance art.
