EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Landscape with Saint Jerome at left looking towards lion and bear fighting at center; two figures with mule in the background" takes us back to the 16th century. Created by Italian artist Domenico Campagnola around 1530-35, this woodcut transports us to a serene countryside scene. At first glance, we are drawn to the central action of a fierce battle between a lion and a bear. The intensity of their struggle is palpable as they engage in combat amidst the picturesque landscape. On the left side of the composition stands Saint Jerome, his gaze fixed upon this enthralling spectacle. As one of Christianity's most revered figures, he symbolizes piety and contemplation. The surrounding geography adds depth and dimension to this artwork. A cave can be seen in the distance, hinting at hidden mysteries or spiritual retreats within nature's embrace. Two additional figures stand nearby with their mule, observing both Saint Jerome's presence and the animalistic clash before them. Campagnola masterfully captures not only physical details but also evokes an atmosphere that resonates with religious undertones. This Renaissance-era piece showcases his skillful use of light and shadow through delicate lines etched into wood. Displayed proudly within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this print serves as a testament to Campagnola's artistic legacy while offering viewers an opportunity for reflection on themes such as faith, nature's power, and human observation in historical landscapes
