EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "St Jerome in a landscape" by Flemish artist Henri Met de Bles. The artwork depicts St Jerome, one of the four great doctors of the early Christian church, kneeling before a Cross in a serene landscape. Born in Strido, Dalmatia (Croatia) between 340 and 420 AD, St Jerome is accompanied by his loyal companion lion in the foreground. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as St Jerome contemplates his faith and devotion. His cardinals hat hangs on a rock outside his humble cell, symbolizing his commitment to simplicity and renunciation of worldly possessions. Henri Met de Bles skillfully captures the essence of this religious figure through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The oil painting on wood evokes an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers into this sacred moment. Currently held within a private collection, this masterpiece serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and spiritual reverence. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of St Jerome but also in its representation of early Christianity during that era. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, "St Jerome in a landscape" continues to inspire contemplation and admiration for both art enthusiasts and those seeking solace within their faith.
