EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century print depicts Saint Jerome, the renowned Christian scholar and patron saint of librarians, scholars, and translators. The image, created using red chalk with stumping and pen and brown ink on tan laid paper, is attributed to the Carracci workshop, specifically to either Agostino Carracci or his pupil Francesco Vanni. The print is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. Saint Jerome is depicted in contemplative solitude, looking down with a serious expression, holding a crucifix in one hand and a book in the other. The crucifix serves as a reminder of the mortal nature of humanity, while the book symbolizes Jerome's dedication to the study and preservation of sacred texts. The use of brown ink and red chalk adds depth and texture to the image, bringing out the intricacies of Jerome's robes and the folds of his cloak. The print is believed to be a study for a larger work, as the figure of Saint Jerome is repeated in several other works by the Carracci workshop. The image is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Italy during the Renaissance period, and continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its intricate detail and profound symbolism.
