About the piece

This striking print, attributed to Jan Gillisz. van Vliet after a design by Rembrandt, captures Saint Jerome in a moment of humble devotion. The composition is defined by masterful chiaroscuro, illuminating the saint's weathered features and the textures of the sacred text against the deep, atmospheric shadows of his hermitage, while his faithful lion companion rests in the foreground.
