Kerkvader Hieronymus 1500 - 1520

"Kerkvader Hieronymus" is a small woodcut print depicting Saint Jerome, a Church father, standing over a lion. It was created by Erhard Schön, a German artist active in the early 16th century. The print features a detailed depiction of Saint Jerome's clothing and halo, while the lion is realistically rendered with intricate details of its fur and mane. The print is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This small woodcut print, likely intended for personal devotion, showcases Schön’s skill in capturing detail within a limited format.
