EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St Jerome in his study pulling a thorn from a lion's paw" transports us back to the 15th century. Created by the renowned artist Albrecht Durer in 1492, this woodcut captures a powerful moment of devotion and kindness. In this scene, we find St Jerome inside his study, surrounded by books and religious artifacts. With fearless determination, he gently tends to an injured lion, pulling out a thorn from its paw. The saint's patience and faithfulness shine through as he selflessly aids the wounded creature. Durer's masterful technique brings depth and emotion to this monochrome image. Every line etched into the woodcut conveys both the physical pain endured by the lion and St Jerome's unwavering dedication to helping others. The print serves as a reminder of the power of compassion even in challenging times. It symbolizes not only St Jerome's commitment to his faith but also our own capacity for empathy towards those who are suffering. Displayed prominently as a frontispiece for a collection of St Jerome's letters in 1936 Germany, this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that acts of kindness can transcend time and place – resonating with us just as strongly now as they did centuries ago.
