Painting Description
St. Jerome 1360-65 is a notable panel painting attributed to Master Theoderic, a prominent Bohemian painter of the Gothic period. The painting is part of a larger collection of works created for the Chapel of the Holy Cross at Karlštejn Castle, near Prague, which was commissioned by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia. Master Theoderic, who served as the court painter for Charles IV, is renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style, characterized by its detailed naturalism, vibrant colors, and intricate iconography.
The painting depicts St. Jerome, one of the four Latin Fathers of the Church, who is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). In this work, St. Jerome is typically portrayed in his cardinal attire, which includes a red robe and a wide-brimmed hat, symbolizing his status within the Church. He is often accompanied by his traditional attributes, such as a lion, a reference to the legend of him taming a lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and a book or scroll, denoting his scholarly achievements.
Master Theoderic's depiction of St. Jerome is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and the expressive quality of the saint's face, which conveys a sense of wisdom and piety. The use of gold leaf in the background and the rich, deep colors of the garments highlight the luxuriousness and spiritual significance of the painting. The artist's skillful application of tempera on panel creates a luminous effect, enhancing the overall impact of the work.
St. Jerome 1360-65 is an exemplary piece of Gothic art that reflects the religious devotion and artistic sophistication of the period. It remains an important artifact within the context of medieval Bohemian art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
