The Vision of St. Jerome, c. 1660
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Giambattista Langetti that depicts an important moment in the life of Saint Jerome, one of Christianity's most influential figures. In this stunning artwork, Langetti skillfully portrays the saint's withdrawal from society and his subsequent spiritual journey. The focal point of the painting is St. Jerome himself, shown deep in contemplation as he gazes at a vision unfolding before him. Surrounding him are celestial beings - cherubim and angels with magnificent wings - who have come to deliver a divine message. A lion rests peacefully beside him, symbolizing his tamed desires and newfound asceticism. Langetti masterfully captures the surprise and awe on St. Jerome's face as he witnesses this extraordinary revelation unfold before him. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail, particularly in rendering the intricate feathers of the angelic beings and their delicate expressions. This powerful image serves as a visual representation of St. Jerome's pivotal moment when he was called upon by an angel to confront his past transgressions and dedicate himself fully to studying scripture and translating the Bible into Latin. Displayed at Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, "The Vision of St. Jerome" continues to inspire viewers with its profound religious symbolism and artistic brilliance centuries after its creation.
