EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Saint Jerome" created by Francesco Benaglio in the late 15th century. The artwork, displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , is a testament to Benaglio's mastery as an Italian Renaissance artist. In this piece, we see Saint Jerome depicted as an elderly man with a long white beard and bare feet. He stands tall and dignified, dressed in traditional religious attire adorned with a cross around his neck. With his piercing gaze fixed on something beyond the frame, he holds a letter tightly in his hand, symbolizing his scholarly pursuits. The use of tempera on spruce panel brings out vibrant colors and intricate details that make this painting truly remarkable. Every brushstroke reveals Benaglio's skillful technique and attention to detail. As we admire this old master's work, we are transported back to the fifteenth century when religious art held great significance for people across Italy. This painting serves as both a visual representation of Saint Jerome's devotion to Christianity and as a historical artifact that reflects the cultural heritage of its time. Francesco Benaglio's signature at the bottom corner reminds us of the artist behind this masterpiece—a talented individual who has left an indelible mark on art history.
