DÜRER, Albrecht: Saint Jerome in His Study

🖼 Saint Jerome in His Study, 1514
Engraving
Multiple collections (engraving), France

Intricate light floods a scholar's cluttered chamber, where Saint Jerome sits surrounded by symbols of knowledge and penance—a lion, skull, and books rendered in meticulous detail. Dürer's masterwork exemplifies Northern Renaissance printmaking, merging spiritual devotion with humanist learning through technical virtuosity.
