About this painting
Dürer engraved Jerome twice, and the Petit Palais has both. In the earlier plate the saint is out in the wild beating his own chest with a stone. In this one, from 1514, he has come indoors, sat down and got to work — light pouring through bottle glass, the lion asleep on the floorboards like a dog, the skull on the sill, the whole room warm. It is one of the three Meisterstiche.
