San Gerolamo, also known as Saint Jerome, is an engraving created by the Dutch artist Cornelis Cort in the late 16th century. Cornelis Cort, born in 1533 in Hoorn, Netherlands, was a prominent engraver and printmaker who played a significant role in the dissemination of Renaissance art throughout Europe. He was particularly known for his collaboration with major artists of his time, including Titian and Giorgio Vasari, which greatly influenced his style and technique.

The engraving depicts Saint Jerome, one of the four great Latin Fathers of the Church, who is often portrayed in Christian art as a scholarly figure. In this work, Saint Jerome is typically shown in a contemplative pose, engaged in his scholarly pursuits, which include translating the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). The setting is often a hermit’s cell or a study, emphasizing his ascetic lifestyle and dedication to his work. The iconography of Saint Jerome usually includes a lion, a reference to the legend of him taming a lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and a skull, symbolizing mortality and penitence.

Cort’s engraving is notable for its meticulous detail and the effective use of light and shadow to create depth and texture. The intricate lines and careful shading demonstrate Cort’s mastery of the engraving technique, which he likely honed under the tutelage of Titian in Venice. The work reflects the high level of craftsmanship and the influence of Italian Renaissance art on Northern European artists.

San Gerolamo by Cornelis Cort is an important example of the cross-cultural artistic exchanges during the Renaissance period. It not only showcases Cort’s technical skill but also his ability to convey the spiritual and intellectual essence of his subjects. The engraving remains a valuable piece for the study of Renaissance art and the dissemination of religious iconography through printmaking.
