1589 1626 Cave Corner Crucifix Dolendo Writing Saint Hieronymus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us to Saint Hieronymus' secluded writing cave. In this intimate scene, we witness the saint engrossed in his work while gazing at a crucifix that hangs on the wall before him. The soft glow of candlelight illuminates his face, highlighting the deep concentration etched upon it. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice a majestic lion peacefully resting in one corner of the cave. A symbol of Saint Hieronymus' legendary encounter with a wounded lion whom he nursed back to health, it serves as a reminder of his compassion and connection with nature. The artist behind this exquisite engraving is Bartholomeus Willemsz. Dolendo, whose attention to detail brings every element to life. Created between 1589 and 1626 on delicate paper, this artwork captures both the physicality and spirituality present within Saint Hieronymus' sanctuary. Whether you are drawn by religious devotion or simply admire fine artistry, this print offers an opportunity for contemplation and reflection. It invites us into Saint Hieronymus' world—a space where faith meets creativity—and encourages us to find solace in our own personal sanctuaries
