St Jerome St Catherine Alexandria Saint Jerome
St Jerome and St Catherine of Alexandria, Saint Jerome and Sainte Catherine, De hl. Hieronymus and the hl. Catherine sits on a turf bench that is shielded from the landscape behind by a rose hedge. Jerome is accompanied by his symbol animal, the lion, from whose leg he has drawn a thorn. There is a smoldering, broken wooden wheel at Catharinas feet, and a long sword leaning beside her, both symbols of her martyrdom. The royal daughter Catharina was considered a role model for rich, courtly women, and as such she is also depicted here. She has a highly shaved forehead in the fashion of that time, and is presented in an already fur-lined silk overlay. The entire scene is framed by a gold-plated arcade with tracery. In the background is a wide landscape with a few late Gothic buildings, a pond with two swans and in the distance the contours of a city with high mountains behind it. anonymous, Bruges, c. 1480 - c. 1490, oil paint (paint), panel, oak (wood), h 84.5 cm × w 61 cm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork titled "St Jerome and St Catherine of Alexandria". Painted by an anonymous artist from Bruges between 1480 and 1490, this oil painting on oak panel is a true masterpiece. The scene depicts St Jerome and St Catherine seated on a turf bench, shielded by a beautiful rose hedge. St Jerome, accompanied by his symbol animal, the lion, is shown removing a thorn from its leg—a powerful representation of his compassion and connection with nature. At St Catherine's feet lies a smoldering broken wooden wheel, symbolizing her martyrdom. A long sword leans beside her as another emblem of her sacrifice. The painting also highlights the royal daughter Catharina as an inspiration for rich courtly women. She is portrayed with a highly shaved forehead in accordance with the fashion of that time and wears an opulent fur-lined silk overlay. Framed within a gold-plated arcade adorned with tracery, the artwork presents an enchanting background featuring late Gothic buildings, a serene pond graced by two swans, and distant mountains behind the city's contours. This remarkable piece invites viewers to delve into the world of saints while appreciating the intricate details and symbolism woven throughout. It serves as both an artistic marvel and historical testament to religious devotion during this period.
