About the piece
Attributed to the circle of Paolo Pagani, this 18th-century Italian work captures Saint Jerome in a moment of intense spiritual reflection. The dramatic chiaroscuro lighting emphasizes the saint's muscular form and the symbolic skull, creating a powerful and atmospheric example of Baroque religious drama.
