Saint Jerome in His Study 1511

Albrecht Dürer's 1511 engraving "Saint Jerome in His Study" is a masterful work of Northern Renaissance art. It depicts the Christian saint in his study, surrounded by books and tools of scholarship. The detail and realism of the scene, from the lion at Jerome's feet to the intricately rendered objects on the shelves, are characteristic of Dürer's meticulous style. The work is a powerful testament to the importance of scholarship and the pursuit of knowledge during this period, and has become one of Dürer's most recognizable and influential works.
