This small bronze plaquette, created by the Italian Renaissance artist Moderno (Galeazzo Mondella) between 1487 and 1493, depicts St. Jerome in the Wilderness. The composition is typical of the artist's style, featuring a detailed and expressive depiction of the saint kneeling in prayer. The scene is set in a rocky landscape with a crucifix in the background. This small-scale piece is a testament to Moderno's skill in capturing the beauty of a biblical scene in a miniature format.
