About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Emilian school of the 17th-18th centuries. This is an early copy of Correggio's famous panel painting entitled La Madonna di San Girolamo or Il Giorno (Our Lady of St. Jerome or The Day), dated around 1528 and now in the National Gallery in Parma. The subject of representation is St. Jerome's presentation to Jesus of the translation of the Bible from Hebrew to popular Latin, work the saint did at the request of Pope Damasus and which he accomplished by hiding himself in solitude in the cave of Bethlehem. In the painting, the centrality of the scene is occupied by Mary sitting with Baby Jesus in her arms. Surrounding them are composed in a semicircle several figures. Standing on the left is the mighty figure of old Jerome, looking at the Child, while clutches the translation scroll in his hand, with the lion, his hermit companion, crouched at his feet. On the same side, an angel holds up the Bible smilingly addressing the Madonna and Child. On the other side lies Magdalene semi-reclining, affectionately embracing the baby's little foot, which in turn strokes her hair, in a gesture intimate that emphasizes the 'intense bond between the two figures. Behind Magdalene, a little angel wrinkles his nose sniffing the jar of the penitent saint's ointments. The scene is set under a red curtain, open to a wide landscape. THE painting by Correggio was widely successful, so much so that there are numerous ancient copies and replicas of it, including this one presented here. The work, restored and re-tinted., is presented in coeval antique frame.
