Heilige Hieronymus bij crucifix, boek en schedel 1746 - 1765

This 18th-century print by James McArdell depicts Saint Jerome kneeling in prayer, a common subject in religious art. The image features a crucifix, a book, a skull, and a lion, symbolizing Jerome's life as a hermit and scholar. The presence of cherubs in the sky above him suggests divine intervention and inspiration. This intricate mezzotint, measuring 500 mm by 355 mm, is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
