EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illuminated page from the 15th-century German School, depicting St. Jerome in his study. The intricate border surrounding the main image incorporates a fascinating scene of a griffin being attacked by three men. This particular page is taken from Epistolare by Saint Hieronymus, believed to be attributed to a contemporary Erfurt illuminator. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this illuminated manuscript on vellum, published in 1470. Measuring 47.8 x 33.2 cm, it is now part of a private collection. The central focus of the artwork is St. Jerome engrossed in his scholarly pursuits within his study, surrounded by books and various objects that reflect his intellectual endeavors. The border features an intense struggle between brave men and a mythical griffin, adding an element of mythology to the composition. The floral patterns intricately woven into the design add depth and beauty to this piece while emphasizing its late fifteenth-century origin. The combination of human figures, mythological creatures like the griffin, and floral motifs creates a visually stunning depiction that captures both religious symbolism and artistic mastery. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry but also provides insight into medieval culture and beliefs through its portrayal of St. Jerome's devotion to knowledge amidst fantastical elements.
