EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter de Jode's masterpiece, "Saint Jerome". Created in the 17th century, this engraving depicts the iconic Christian figure immersed in his hermit lifestyle. Saint Jerome is portrayed wearing traditional clothing, including a cardinal's hat, symbolizing his high status within the church. The scene takes place inside a cave, representing Saint Jerome's solitude and dedication to his religious practices. With one hand gesturing towards heaven and rays of light illuminating the dark space around him, he appears deeply connected to his spiritual beliefs. A lion rests peacefully at his side, symbolizing Saint Jerome's ability to tame wild beasts with his faith. Intriguingly, a crucifixion scene can be seen carved into the rock behind him. This serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice and reinforces Saint Jerome's devotion to Christianity. Additionally, a skull lies nearby as an emblem of mortality and contemplation. Pieter de Jode skillfully captures the essence of wilderness through intricate details such as rocks and geographical features surrounding Saint Jerome. The artist successfully conveys both serenity and introspection in this remarkable piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old religious heritage art while appreciating Pieter de Jode’s exceptional talent for storytelling through engravings.
