"Painting Of St. Jerome,xviicentury"
St. Jerome is in the cave where he had retired to live as a hermit and to translate the bible. At the entrance of the grotto you can see the lion whose thom he remowed from his foot, the skull as a symbol of penance and the crucifix as adoration. Beautiful painting by a Flemish master from the 17th century rich en detail and well preserved.(reframed painting).
