Parino Mercato Antiquario

Description

Great Flemish painting from the first half of the 17th century. Oil artwork on canvas with a very refined Saint Jerome in the study, with great charm. Father and doctor of the church, he was a famous scholar and translated the Gospels and the Old Testament into Latin. The Saint is depicted in cardinal's robes while reading a book in a small study full of objects that testify to his erudition and his interests. There are also some memento mori (literally remember that you must die) such as the unlit candle, the hourglass and the skull that the Saint indicates at the center of the composition. A large window opens onto a beautiful landscape with figures and a small Nordic village in the background. A painting of notable pictorial quality, which can be seen in particular in the creation of the meticulous details of the study. Painting that has undergone restoration with relining, replacement of the frame and restoration of color in some places. Overall in good state of conservation, with some signs of aging.
