Heilige Hieronymus 1567 - 1602

"Heilige Hieronymus" is an etching by the Italian artist Agostino Carracci, created between 1567 and 1602. The print depicts Saint Jerome, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church, in a contemplative pose, seated outdoors with a book in his hand. The setting is a landscape with a tree, a cross, and a dog, all rendered in fine detail using lines and hatching. This print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, demonstrates Carracci's skill in capturing both the spiritual essence and the physicality of his subject.
