Painting Description
"St. Jerome in His Study" (b.60; M., Holl.59) is a celebrated engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1514. This work is part of Dürer's trio of master engravings, often referred to as his "Meisterstiche," which also includes "Melencolia I" and "Knight, Death, and the Devil." The engraving depicts St. Jerome, one of the four Latin Fathers of the Church, in a moment of scholarly contemplation within a meticulously detailed study.
Dürer's portrayal of St. Jerome is rich with symbolism and intricate detail, reflecting both the artist's technical prowess and his deep engagement with humanist themes. The saint is shown seated at a desk, engrossed in his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. The room is filled with various objects that signify learning and piety, such as books, a crucifix, and a skull, which serves as a memento mori, reminding viewers of the transience of life.
The light streaming through the window bathes the scene in a serene glow, highlighting Dürer's masterful use of chiaroscuro to create depth and texture. The lion and the dog, traditional symbols associated with St. Jerome, are depicted with lifelike precision, adding to the engraving's narrative richness. The lion, which Jerome is said to have tamed by removing a thorn from its paw, lies peacefully in the foreground, symbolizing the saint's harmonious relationship with nature.
"St. Jerome in His Study" is not only a testament to Dürer's exceptional skill as an engraver but also a reflection of the intellectual and spiritual currents of the Renaissance. The work has been extensively studied for its iconographic elements and its place within Dürer's oeuvre, offering insights into the artist's philosophical and theological interests. Today, it remains a significant piece in the history of printmaking, admired for its technical brilliance and profound thematic depth.
