Painting Description
"Der Heilige Hieronymus neben dem Weidenbaum" (Saint Jerome by the Willow Tree) is an engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1512. This work is part of Dürer's extensive and influential body of graphic prints, which includes woodcuts, engravings, and etchings. The engraving depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator renowned for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. Jerome is often depicted in Christian art in the solitude of the wilderness, reflecting his hermitage in the Syrian desert where he spent years in penance and study.
In Dürer's rendering, Saint Jerome is shown seated in a contemplative pose with a book, symbolizing his scholarly pursuits, and accompanied by a lion, which according to legend became his companion after he removed a thorn from its paw. The presence of the willow tree in the title is significant, as it is a traditional symbol of sorrow and mourning, possibly alluding to Jerome's penitential life.
The engraving is notable for its masterful use of line and detail, which is characteristic of Dürer's prints. The intricate depiction of nature and textures, such as the bark of the tree and the lion's mane, showcases Dürer's skill and his keen observation of the natural world. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the saint and the lion placed in a serene landscape that invites meditation.
"Der Heilige Hieronymus neben dem Weidenbaum" is considered an important work within Dürer's oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic talent and the intellectual and spiritual themes that were prevalent in the Northern Renaissance. The engraving is held in various collections and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its representation of Renaissance humanism.
