EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving on ivory laid paper, created by the renowned French artist Antoine Masson in the late 17th century, depicts Saint Jerome in a contemplative moment of prayer and study. Saint Jerome, also known as Hieronymus or Jerome of Stridon, was a prominent early Christian scholar, priest, and theologian. He is best known for his translation of the Bible from the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became the basis for the Western Christian tradition's scriptures. In this image, Saint Jerome is shown in semi-dress, seated in a rocky landscape, with a crucifix before him and a book open on his lap. He is deep in thought, his eyes fixed on the text, while his left hand holds a pen, ready to make notations. The symbol of a lion, which represents his strength and courage, is at his side. The monochrome print, with its intricate lines and fine details, captures the essence of Saint Jerome's dedication to his faith and scholarship. This artwork, titled "Saint Jerome," is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the 17th century. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Christianity on Western art and culture.
