About the Item
Saint Jerome in the Wilderness
Cast bronze relief
Europe (presumably Spain), ca. 1600/17th century
Dimensions: 11.5 × 7 cm
This small rectangular gilt bronze relief, possibly intended as a pax or private devotional plaque, depicts Saint Jerome in the wilderness. The saint is with bear chest seated upon his knees, holding a crucifix in his raised left hand and a stone in the other, symbols of penitence and contemplation. Around him are his traditional attributes: the cardinal’s hat, a book, and a skull. At his feet lies the lion, his legendary companion, while tin the upper right corner are swirling clouds suggesting divine presence.
The finely chased surface reveal the high quality of the casting. With its modest size and suspension loop, the plaque was likely used for private devotion or as part of a small domestic altar.
