In this photo print, we are transported to the world of Lucas Cranach the Elder's masterpiece, "The Penitence of St. Jerome". The painting, created in 1502 and now housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, showcases Cranach's exceptional talent and attention to detail. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to St. Jerome himself - a stone-faced figure kneeling before a crucifixion scene. Dressed in cardinal robes with his iconic lion companion by his side, he exudes an air of solemnity and contemplation. The cardinal hat resting on a nearby rock serves as a reminder of his esteemed position within the Church. Cranach skillfully captures both the physical and emotional aspects of penitence through intricate brushwork and delicate shading.
