Painting Description
"St. Jerome" is a notable sculpture by the Italian Renaissance artist Alessandro Vittoria (1525–1608). Vittoria, who was a prominent sculptor in the Venetian school, is known for his mastery in creating marble busts and statues that reflect the influence of his mentor, Jacopo Sansovino, and the broader context of Mannerist art. The sculpture of St. Jerome exemplifies Vittoria's skill in rendering the human form with a sense of inner life and psychological depth.
The work depicts St. Jerome, a Christian priest, theologian, and historian, who is most famous for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate) and his commentaries on the Gospels. St. Jerome is often portrayed in art with a lion, referencing the legend that he removed a thorn from a lion's paw, and with a stone, symbolizing his penitential practices. In Vittoria's representation, the saint is typically shown as an elderly, contemplative figure, engaged in his scholarly pursuits or in a moment of divine inspiration or penance.
While the exact date of creation for this particular sculpture is not well-documented, it is likely to have been produced during the height of Vittoria's career in the mid-to-late 16th century. The work would have been commissioned either for a religious setting, such as a church or chapel, or for a private patron as part of a collection of devotional art.
Alessandro Vittoria's "St. Jerome" is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and the broader Renaissance sculpture canon. It reflects the religious and cultural values of the period, as well as the technical prowess and artistic vision that Vittoria brought to his craft. The sculpture stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of St. Jerome and the artistic achievements of the Renaissance in Venice.
