EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrea Previtali's "The Penitent Saint Jerome in the Desert and The Stoning of Saint Stephen," painted around 1526, showcases two significant moments in Christian history and the enduring themes of faith, perseverance, and martyrdom. On the left, Saint Jerome, a renowned Church Father and Doctor of the Church, is depicted as an anchorite, clad in monk's robes, sitting in the arid desert landscape. With a Bible in hand and an angel at his side, he symbolizes the ascetic life and dedication to scripture study. The penitent Saint Jerome, who famously translated the Latin Vulgate Bible, is a testament to the importance of faith and the pursuit of knowledge in the face of adversity. On the right, the dramatic scene of The Stoning of Saint Stephen unfolds. As the protomartyr and the first Christian deacon, Saint Stephen is shown being stoned by a mob, with the approving gaze of Saul (later Saint Paul) in the background. This event is a poignant reminder of the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire, and the unwavering loyalty and faith displayed by the early followers of Christ. Previtali, a prominent artist from Bergamo, Italy, skillfully combines these two powerful narratives in a single composition, demonstrating the School of Bergamo's mastery of the Renaissance style. The oil on wood painting, now housed in the Accademia Carrara, offers a profound exploration of the complexities of Christian belief and the enduring power of faith in the face of adversity.
