"Der Hl. Hieronymus, In Der Wuste Lesend" (Saint Jerome Reading in the Wilderness) is an engraving created by the renowned Dutch artist Cornelis Cort in the 16th century. Cornelis Cort, born in 1533 in Hoorn, Netherlands, was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, known for his masterful engravings that often depicted religious and mythological themes. His works were highly influential in disseminating the artistic styles and compositions of the Italian Renaissance throughout Northern Europe.

This particular engraving portrays Saint Jerome, one of the four great Latin Fathers of the Church, who is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). The scene captures Saint Jerome in a moment of deep contemplation and study, set against the backdrop of a desolate wilderness. The wilderness setting is symbolic, representing both the physical and spiritual isolation that Jerome experienced during his time as a hermit in the Syrian desert.

Cort's engraving is notable for its intricate detail and the expressive quality of its line work. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic intensity of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure of Saint Jerome, who is depicted with a sense of solemnity and introspection. The engraving also includes various symbolic elements, such as the lion, which is often associated with Saint Jerome due to the legend of him removing a thorn from a lion's paw.

"Der Hl. Hieronymus, In Der Wuste Lesend" exemplifies Cort's ability to convey complex theological themes through his art, while also showcasing his technical prowess as an engraver. This work not only reflects the religious fervor of the period but also highlights the cross-cultural exchanges between Northern and Southern European art during the Renaissance.
