EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of introspection and intellectual pursuit. In "Saint Jerome in his Study by Candlelight" we witness a profound moment in the life of this revered scholar. Bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, Saint Jerome is engrossed in deep contemplation, his gaze fixed upon a skull held delicately in his left hand. The study itself is adorned with symbols of faith and wisdom. A cardinal hat and rosary hang on the wall, representing Saint Jerome's elevated status within the Church. A mirror reflects not only physical surroundings but also serves as a metaphor for self-reflection and introspection. Above him sits an hourglass, reminding us of the fleeting nature of time. On the table before him lies an open book, inviting us to ponder what knowledge or revelation he seeks within its pages. The ink set nearby signifies his dedication to scholarly pursuits and written works that have shaped religious discourse for centuries. Attributed to Aertgen Claesz van Leyden, this masterful artwork beautifully captures Saint Jerome as Doctor of the Latin Church—a figure synonymous with erudition and theological insight. Accompanied by a lion symbolizing courage and strength, Saint Jerome's presence is further enhanced by a cardinal's hat placed beside him. This print from Liszt Collection invites us into Saint Jerome's world—where intellect meets spirituality—and encourages us to reflect on our own quest for knowledge and enlightenment.
