Painting Description
"The Funeral of St. Jerome" is a significant work of religious art crafted by the Italian painter Vittore Carpaccio in 1502. This painting depicts the funeral of St. Jerome, a notable Christian theologian and historian from the 4th and 5th centuries. It is the fourth of the nine-part narrative cycle known as the "Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni cycleCreated during the High Renaissance, the painting showcases Carpaccio's adept use of color, composition, and detail, demonstrating the painter's keen understanding of emotional expression and perspective. The painting illustrates St. Jerome's funeral, with mourners congregated around his body. The scene is set in an architectural landscape that blends the sacred and the everyday, indicating Carpaccio’s known skill in integrating realism with religious symbolism.
An iconic creature depicted in the painting is the lion, the traditional symbol associated with St. Jerome. The artwork provides a humanizing connection with the saint, showing his death amidst the throng of mourners marked by genuine sorrow.
The painting is kept in the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni in Venice, Italy. It remains a powerful representative of religious sentiment from the era and highlights Carpaccio's pivotal role in progressing Venetian painting towards greater dimensionality and emotional depth.
"The Funeral of St. Jerome" reflects the tradition of narrative cycles in Venetian scuole (confraternity buildings), and its religious significance and historical context add to the richness of its reception both within and beyond Carpaccio's lifetime.
