"San Girolamo che cura il leone" is an artwork by Antoniazzo Romano, a prominent Italian painter active in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. This painting depicts the iconic scene of Saint Jerome tending to a lion's injured paw. The scene is often interpreted as a metaphor for Christ's healing powers, and the lion represents sin. Romano's meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the figures and the setting are characteristic of the early Renaissance style. The artwork likely served a devotional purpose, reminding viewers of the saint's charitable nature and the transformative power of faith.
