More information

Saint Jerome (circa 347-419), one of the four Fathers of the Church, is portrayed as a hermit. The book he holds is undoubtedly his translation of the Bible in Latin. According to legend Jerome once tamed a lion by pulling a thorn from its paw. This is why the beast
lies so peacefully in the foreground.
