El Greco
Saint Jerome
1614
Medium:
Oil on canvas
Dimensions:
Canvas: 168 x 110.5 cm
Framed: 194.3 x 137.2 x 6.4 cm
El Greco depicted Saint Jerome on more than one occasion; often, as traditional, he paints Jerome in a cardinal’s garments. In this painting, however, El Greco has referred to another part of Jerome’s life: the period he spent as a half-clad ascetic or anchorite.
