San Girolamo, c. 1580 (marble) by Vittoria, Alessandro - A Masterpiece of Religious Sculpture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the magnificent sculpture of San Girolamo, created by the renowned Italian artist Alessandro Vittoria in the late 16th century. Standing at an impressive height of 192 cm, this marble masterpiece can be found in the Basilica Santi Giovanni and Paolo in Venice, Italy. The sculpture depicts Saint Jerome, a prominent figure in Christianity known for his translation of the Bible into Latin. With a long flowing beard and a look of deep contemplation on his face, San Girolamo exudes wisdom and devotion. He holds a book symbolizing his scholarly pursuits and religious teachings. At San Girolamo's side rests a majestic lion, representing both his close companionship with animals during his time spent as a hermit in the wilderness and also serving as an emblematic reminder of his spiritual strength. Vittoria's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork; from the intricate folds of clothing to the lifelike texture carved into each strand of hair. The sculptor's mastery truly brings this sacred icon to life. As we admire this remarkable piece from centuries past, it serves as a testament to both Vittoria's artistic brilliance and San Girolamo's enduring influence within Christian history. This photograph captures not only an exquisite work of art but also invites us to reflect upon faith and spirituality through its powerful imagery.
