Painting Description
"Saint Jerome in His Study" (1514) is a copper engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer. This work is one of Dürer's most celebrated engravings and depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, engrossed in his work within the quiet solitude of his study. The engraving is renowned for its intricate detail and the use of light and shadow, which creates a contemplative atmosphere.
In the engraving, Jerome is seated at his desk, surrounded by the tools of his scholarly work, including books, a writing implement, and an hourglass. A skull on the window sill serves as a memento mori, a reminder of the inevitability of death and the value of contemplation. The lion, which according to legend willingly approached Jerome in the wilderness to have a thorn removed from its paw, lies docilely in the foreground, symbolizing the harmony of nature tamed by faith and intellect.
Dürer's "Saint Jerome in His Study" is not only a masterful example of Northern Renaissance art but also a reflection of the era's intellectual pursuits and the humanist interest in personal piety. The engraving is held in high esteem for its technical precision and the depth of its spiritual and philosophical themes. It remains a subject of study for art historians and a prized piece in several museum collections around the world.
