EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Saint Jerome" created by the Spanish School in the 19th century. Painted with water-based paint on a wood panel, this masterpiece measures 22.2 x 14.9 cm and is currently housed at The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The subject of this painting is Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, commonly known as San Geronimo or Saint Jerome. He was a highly esteemed Latin Catholic priest, theologian, historian, and confessor who gained fame for his translation of the Bible into Latin (known as the Vulgate). This remarkable achievement solidified his place in history. In this depiction, Saint Jerome is portrayed kneeling before an intricately designed baroque altar screen while wearing a cope—a liturgical vestment worn by priests during religious ceremonies. The artist skillfully captures the essence of devotion and spirituality through their brushstrokes. With its rich cultural symbolism and religious significance, this artwork resonates deeply with viewers across various regions such as New Mexico, Mexico, Caribbean islands, Spanish America, and even Spanish colonial territories. It represents not only Christian faith but also serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Roman Catholicism throughout Latin America. This painting stands out for its naive yet powerful portrayal of Saint Jerome's devoutness within a primitive church setting. Its fusion of folk art elements from Mexican traditions adds an extra layer of charm to this piece from 19th-century New Spain. Overall
