About the Item
Venetian school of the end of the 16th century
Circle of Jacopo Negretti, known as Palma the Younger (Venice 1544 - 1628)
Saint Jerome Penitent
Oil painting on canvas
85 x 64 cm. - In frame 97 x 76 cm.
This splendid painting, which offers us an intense representation of San Girolamo Penitente, a doctor of the Church who lived between the 4th and 5th centuries, is a work of remarkable quality and pictorial refinement, testimony of the mature Venetian Renaissance, painted in the Venetian area around the end of the sixteenth century.
The multifaceted figure of the saint, hermit, penitent, cardinal and fine humanist, who translated the Bible into Latin, enjoyed great success between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the supreme example of the harmony between classical age knowledge and Christian virtue. For this reason it was a subject dear to a refined and cultured public, not infrequently illustrated in small works intended for private devotion.
The elderly saint is depicted half-naked, according to the typical iconography that sees him in the guise of a hermit, while, kneeling, he hits his chest with a stone as a sign of penance. We see him with his gaze intent on contemplating the crucifix and the open book, both of his canonical iconographic attributes, referring to his fruitful activity as a biblical scholar and theologian, who made him the forerunner of the Renaissance humanist.
San Girolamo is represented in a mountainous and wild landscape, near the cave of Bethlehem where he retreated to follow his vocation as a hermit, at the bottom of which opens the view of a city, emblem of the contrast between nature and civilization.
Examining the stylistic characteristics, the composition is undoubtedly indebted to the models created by Jacopo Negretti known as Palma the Younger (Venice 1548-1628), who repeatedly approached the subject with multiple illustrative methods.
The brightness that envelops the scene is clearly of Venetian origin: the composition is crossed by an intense glow that radiates the figure of the Saint, emphasizing the rather sober chromatic range, played on earthy tones.
The painting, whose excellent conditions offer us an optimal reading, denotes a very precise and quality brushstroke. Examination under wood's lamp does not show significant restorations, but some retouching scattered on the surface.
The work is accompanied by a photographic authenticity expertise in accordance with the law.

Saint John Evangelist Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century French School
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Saint John the Evangelist
French school of the eighteenth century
Oil painting on canvas
82 x 64 cm. - in frame 102 x 84 cm.
In this pleasant painting we see the portrait of the evangelist John, holding a pen in his hand while writing the pages of the Gospel, while behind him it is possible to recognize the profile of an eagle, his typical iconographic attribute.
The graceful face, which still reveals the devout attitude, which gives the painting a more intimate and delicate, not excessive religiosity, is one of the typical characteristics for works intended for domestic devotion, as in the case of this Saint John.
From the representation of the Saint the freshness of his features immediately stands out, he is in fact portrayed as young and handsome: and it is precisely this iconographic peculiarity that makes the work fascinating and very pleasant, probably commissioned for a private room.
The painting presents the peculiarities of eighteenth-century French portraiture, characterized by a soft drawing and a wise use of light. The rather marked chiaroscuro and well-calibrated shades produce an excellent result thanks to the play of light on the face, highlighted by the dark background of the scene.
The painting has been relined and is in an excellent state of conservation with the colors still bright and a very healthy pictorial layer.
The painting is sold together with a nice golden frame.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic card.
