Jerome
Jerome (; ; ; – 30 September 420), also known as Jerome of Stridon, was an early Christian presbyter, priest, Confessor of the Faith, confessor, theologian, translator, and historian; he is commonly known as Saint Jerome. He is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as the Vulgate) and his commentaries on the whole Bible. Jerome attempted to create a translation of the Old Testament based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint, as Vetus Latina, prior Latin Bible translations had done. His list of writings is extensive. In addition to his biblical works, he wrote polemical and historical essays, always from a theologian's perspective. Jerome was known for his teachings on Christian moral life, especially those in cosmopolitan centers such as Rome. He often focused on women's lives and identified how a woman devoted to Jesus should live her life. This focus stemmed from his close patron relationships with several pro ...

Saint Jerome In The Wilderness (Leonardo)
''Saint Jerome in the Wilderness'' is an unfinished painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated . A recent study linked to the ''Lady with an Ermine'' carried out by Leonardo da Vinci at the same time supports this hypothesis. The composition of the painting has been drafted in monochrome onto the primed wooden panel. At an unknown date after Leonardo's death, the panel was cut into five pieces before eventually being restored into its original form (minus a very small triangle). Description The oil draft of an unfinished painting depicts Saint Jerome in advanced age during his retreat to the Syrian desert, where he lived the life of a hermit. The saint kneels in a rocky landscape, gazing toward a crucifix which can be discerned faintly sketched in at the extreme right of the painting. In Jerome's right hand he holds a rock with which he is traditionally shown beating his chest in penance. At his feet is the lion which became a loyal companion after he ex ...

Saint Jerome In The Wilderness (Mantegna)
''Saint Jerome in the Wilderness'' (also ''Saint Jerome Penitent in the Desert'') is a painting in tempera on panel, measuring 51 by 40 cm and attributed to Andrea Mantegna. (English edition available.) It dates to between 1448 and 1451 and is now in the São Paulo Museum of Art. History It is usually thought of as an early work by the artist, executed shortly after he left the studio of Francesco Squarcione in 1448, enabling him to shift from religious works for third parties to private commissions in a variety of genres, such as this one, thought to have been commissioned by the humanist and poet Ulisse degli Aleotti. It probably also relates to his first trip to Ferrara in 1449 to work at the court of Leonello d'Este Leonello d'Este (also spelled Lionello; 21 September 1407 – 1 October 1450) was Marquess of Ferrara, Modena, and Reggio Emilia from 1441 to 1450.

Saint Jerome In The Desert (Pinturicchio)
''Saint Jerome in the Desert'' is a 149.8 by 106 centimetres oil on panel painting by Pinturicchio, executed c. 1475-1480 and showing Jerome. It is one of the earliest dated paintings attributed to the artist and was produced just after his contributions to the '' Miracles of St Bernardino'' series (1473). It is recorded as being in the Bartoccini family collection in Perugia before entering the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria, where it remained until it was sold in 1915. Henry Walters acquired it from the art dealer Luigi Grasse in 1916 on the advice of Bernard Berenson. In 1931 it formed part of the original core of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, where it still hangs. It was restored in 1966.

Saint Jerome In The Desert (van Der Weyden)
''St. Jerome and the Lion'' (also known as ''St. Jerome Extracting the Thorn'' or ''Saint Jerome in the Desert'') is an oil on oak panel painting by Rogier van der Weyden or his studio from c. 1450–1465, showing Jerome and a lion. It is now in the Detroit Institute of Arts. This painting was part of a renewed interest in depictions of St. Jerome. Description The painting depicts a scene from the legend of St. Jerome. In the legend St. Jerome is said to be giving a lecture to his students in Bethlehem when a limping lion came to him. While the others fled, the saint welcomed the lion. He examined the injured foot and extracted the thorn he found there. This cured the foot and the lion stayed with St. Jerome until his death. St. Jerome is depicted as an old man in a cardinal's outfit. The traditional red garments are lined with white fur and the galero A (plural: ; from , originally connoting a helmet made of skins; cf.

Saint Jerome In The Desert (Bellini, Birmingham)
''Saint Jerome in the Desert'' is a painting in egg tempera on wood by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini, dating from around 1450. It is housed in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts in Birmingham, England. Universally recognised as Bellini's earliest surviving work, created when he was about 16, the painting depicts Saint Jerome seated semi-naked on a rock in front of his cave in the Syrian Desert. He holds a book in his left hand, referencing his life as a hermit and his role in producing the Vulgate Bible. His faithful lion The lion (''Panthera leo'') is a large Felidae, cat of the genus ''Panthera'', native to Sub-Saharan Africa and India.

Saint Jerome In The Desert (Bellini, Florence)
''Saint Jerome in the Desert'', or ''Saint Jerome Reading in the Desert'', is an oil painting on panel of 1480 by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence as part of the Contini Bonacossi collection, giving it its alternative title of the ''Contini Bonacossi Saint Jerome''. Its original location is unknown, though Gamba's theory is that it was an altarpiece for Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Venice, where Jacopo Sansovino mentioned seeing a Saint Jerome by Bellini completed in 1489. It uses the same composition as another '' Saint Jerome in the Desert'', controversially dated to around 1505. In both works Saint Jerome is shown reading in the desert, referring to both his life as a hermit and his production of the Vulgate Bible. The work in Florence shows a crucifix on a long shaft, which the saint used as an aid to prayer. His usual lion is shown, as are some birds, a lizard, a squirrel on a branch and one deer chasing another, all of whic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saint Jerome In The Desert (Bellini, Washington)
''Saint Jerome in the Desert'' is an oil painting on canvas of 1505 by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Little remains of the signature on the first rock in the left foreground, but it has been confirmed as genuine during restoration and can be reconstructed as " ohannes Bellinu. 1505". This is problematic, since the work's general style is linked to fashions no later than 1490, whereas Bellini's style of figures and landscapes had already begun to be influenced by Giorgione by 1500, with the backgrounds more fused and unified in terms of atmosphere. The composition makes it more analogous to his earlier works, such as the '' Saint Jerome in the Desert'' of c. 1480 in the Uffizi. The Washington work may have been a collaboration, a work completed by a pupil in Bellini's studio, or left incomplete and only finished by Bellini himself much later.Mariolina Olivari, ''Giovanni Bellini'', in Various authors, ''Pittori ...

The Hermit Saints
''The Hermit Saints'' is a religious oil on panel painting displayed as a triptych which was painted by the Early Netherlandish artist Hieronymus Bosch. The entirety of the triptych painting measures . This artwork is currently being housed at the Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice. Saints are a common theme in Bosch's artwork; for him, they are a reference to the living and also to suffering against what was considered sinful. Likewise, there is often the portrayal of brutality and agony that far outweighs the beauty in Bosch's work since he uses saints as a moral paradigm of the artist's time. He represents them as those who are most faithful in their beliefs. Within this triptych the viewer is introduced to three hermit saints depicted in separate lands of the heavenly and hellish manifestations of mankind's sin and moral obligations. The hermit saints are a reference to the life of solitude and devotion to their faith and practice of the religion Christianity. Each panel is ric ...
