EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "H. Jerome in prayer" we are transported to a sacred moment captured by the skilled hands of Willem van der Vliet and Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn in 1639. The image portrays the iconic figure of St. Jerome, also known as Hieronymus, deep in prayer. With his head bowed and hands clasped together, St. Jerome kneels before an altar adorned with symbolic attributes that represent his life's work and devotion. A book lies open beside him, signifying his scholarly pursuits and translation of the Bible into Latin. Resting atop the book is a cardinal's hat, symbolizing St. Jerome's high ecclesiastical rank within the Church hierarchy during his time. A crucifix stands tall behind him, reminding us of Christ's sacrifice and guiding St. Jerome's prayers. The presence of an hourglass suggests the fleeting nature of time and serves as a reminder for spiritual contemplation amidst life's transience. At St. Jerome’s side rests a lion - representing courage - which according to legend he tamed by removing a thorn from its paw. A skull placed on top of a stone signifies mortality and serves as a memento mori –a reminder that death awaits all mortals regardless of their earthly accomplishments. Through Quint Lox’s masterful reproduction technique, this print allows us to witness not only the artistic brilliance but also experience the profound spirituality embodied by H. Jerome in
