EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas print, we are transported to the world of St. Jerome, as envisioned by Italian artist Luca Giordano. The painting measures 62x59.2 cm and is part of a private collection, allowing us a rare glimpse into the artist's interpretation of this iconic figure. St. Jerome, known for his scholarly pursuits and translation of the Bible into Latin, is depicted here as an old man with a flowing white beard that exudes wisdom and experience. His piercing gaze captures our attention immediately, drawing us further into his contemplative world. The presence of a skull in the foreground serves as a reminder of mortality and the fleeting nature of life itself – themes often explored in religious art. It symbolizes St. Jerome's commitment to renouncing worldly pleasures and embracing spiritual introspection. As we delve deeper into this composition, we notice subtle details that enhance our understanding of St. Jerome's character: his humble monk's robe draped over one shoulder signifies his dedication to asceticism; while in the background, hints at solitude suggest his hermit-like lifestyle. This particular print also bears mention to Graf Harrach – perhaps an indication of its previous ownership or historical significance associated with it. Overall, Giordano skillfully captures both the physicality and spirituality inherent within St. Jerome through masterful brushwork and rich colors that bring this revered saint to life once more.
