Bent over a large open book, Jerome supports his head with his left hand. A skull and a quill appear in the foreground: the former evokes mortality, while the book and quill refer to study and writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDramatic light\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe almost black background isolates the figure and the objects. Light crosses the face, shoulder, arm and pages before meeting the deep red drapery. This tightly focused arrangement gives the act of reading a quiet intensity. The title, artist, date, medium, dimensions and accession number are documented in the work’s museum record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artem Legrand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55413496906053,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/1707\/9365\/files\/Lionello_Spada_-_St_Jerome_cadre.webp?v=1755879931","url":"https:\/\/www.artemlegrand.be\/en\/products\/reproduction-of-the-painting-saint-jerome-painting-lionello-spada-source-tableau-saint-jerome-lionello-spada","provider":"Artem Legrand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
