Saint Jerome 

This bronze plaquette, created by the Italian artist Ulocrino, depicts Saint Jerome in a naturalistic setting. The saint is depicted standing with a lion at his feet, a reference to the legend that he removed a thorn from the lion's paw. The highly detailed, three-dimensional relief style of the plaquette suggests the influence of Renaissance art. Plaquettes were often used as devotional objects and were collected by art enthusiasts.
