EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Saint Jerome, widely recognized as the Father of the Latin church. The woodcut, taken from Legenda aurea by Jacobus de Voragine and translated and printed in 1483 at Westminster by William Caxton, beautifully captures the essence of this influential theologian and translator. Saint Jerome's presence is commanding as he stands before us, his gaze fixed with wisdom and determination. Dressed in a traditional priestly attire, he wears a halo that symbolizes his saintly status within Christianity. His hat adds an air of scholarly authority to his persona. The interior setting creates an atmosphere of reverence and contemplation. It serves as a reminder that Saint Jerome's teachings were instrumental in shaping early Christian thought during the 4th and 5th centuries. As we admire this image, we are transported back to a time when books like the Bible held immense significance for believers. A striking element within this composition is the inclusion of a lion at Saint Jerome's side. This represents one of the most famous legends associated with him – taming a lion by removing thorns from its paw. This act exemplifies both his compassion towards all creatures and his ability to overcome challenges through faith. In summary, this remarkable print encapsulates Saint Jerome's profound influence on Christianity as well as his intellectual contributions to theological scholarship. It serves as a powerful reminder of how individuals throughout history have shaped our understanding of faith and spirituality.
