| Description |
English: Jerome's great service to the Church was his translation of the Bible into Latin, which he completed at a monastery in Palestine. The sculptor could not depict the setting as could a painter, but he could help viewers imagine it themselves by including a colorful detail--the lion that, according to the well-known story, was miraculously tamed by the saint and followed him around like a pet dog.
Alabaster is excellent for statuettes because it is easier to carve than marble and allows for fine detail. This figure is from a set of the Four Fathers of the Church (Saints Jerome, Augustine, Ambrose, and Gregory the Great) installed on an altar or a tomb. The style of the carving suggests it might be the work of the Spanish sculptor Bartolomé Ordóñez; it combines the angular drapery typical of the late Gothic period with a more complex sense of volume, revealing familiarity with contemporary Italian sculpture. |
