Saint Jerome in the Desert 1516

Lucas van Leyden's "Saint Jerome in the Desert" from 1516 is a detailed engraving depicting the saint kneeling in prayer in a rugged landscape. The work is notable for its realistic depiction of Jerome and the accompanying lion, as well as the subtle use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere. The engraving is a testament to van Leyden's technical skill and his ability to capture the drama of a biblical scene. The work is currently held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
