EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn transports us to a moment of introspection and contemplation. Titled "St. Jerome Reading" the print showcases the iconic saint engrossed in his studies, surrounded by an aura of tranquility. The composition is centered around St. Jerome, depicted as a cardinal with his distinctive red robes, sitting in solitude amidst a barren wilderness. He holds an open book in one hand while delicately turning its pages with the other, demonstrating his deep devotion to knowledge and spirituality. A majestic lion rests at St. Jerome's feet, symbolizing both his connection to nature and his triumph over worldly desires through faith. The presence of this powerful creature adds an element of intrigue to the scene, hinting at the saint's legendary ability to tame wild beasts. Rembrandt masterfully captures the play of light and shadow on St. Jerome's face, emphasizing every wrinkle and furrow that speaks volumes about years spent in contemplation and self-reflection. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our vantage point centuries later, we are reminded of the enduring power of religion and Christianity as sources for solace and enlightenment throughout history. Displayed proudly within Ashmolean Museum at University of Oxford in UK, this etching serves as a testament to Rembrandt's artistic prowess and continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message today.
