Painting Description
"St. Jerome in Penitence" (B. 61; M., Holl. 57) is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1512. This work is part of a series of masterful engravings by Dürer that depict religious themes with a high level of detail and craftsmanship. The engraving portrays St. Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, in a moment of solitary reflection and penance in the wilderness, a theme common in Christian art that emphasizes the saint's piety and devotion.
In the engraving, St. Jerome is typically shown in a contemplative state, kneeling before a crucifix and beating his chest with a stone as an act of penitence. The setting is often a rocky and barren landscape, which serves to highlight the ascetic life that the saint led. Dürer's rendition of St. Jerome is notable for its intricate detail and the emotional depth conveyed through the saint's posture and expression.
Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a prolific painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. His works are renowned for their remarkable detail, use of perspective, and inventive iconography. Dürer's engravings, such as "St. Jerome in Penitence," were widely circulated and had a significant influence on the visual arts in Europe. They are often characterized by their complex interplay of light and shadow, as well as the fusion of Northern Renaissance art's intricate detail with the Italian Renaissance's grasp of proportion and human anatomy.
"St. Jerome in Penitence" is not only a testament to Dürer's technical skill as an engraver but also reflects the religious sentiments of the time, particularly the emphasis on personal piety and introspection. The work remains an important piece of Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
