EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Jerome, a 19th-century masterpiece by Alois Petrak, captures the essence of this revered figure in Christian history. The engraving showcases the meticulous attention to detail that Petrak is known for, transporting us back to the 4th century. In this circular portrait, Saint Jerome emerges as a solitary hermit deep in contemplation. His piercing gaze reveals wisdom beyond his years, while his flowing beard symbolizes his commitment to a life of devotion and solitude. As one of Christianity's most influential scholars and theologians, Saint Jerome's contributions to biblical translation are legendary. The composition cleverly incorporates elements that define both Saint Jerome's persona and his spiritual journey. A majestic lion rests at his side, representing the saint's ability to tame worldly desires through faith. In the background lies a crucifix—a powerful reminder of Christ's sacrifice and redemption. Petrak masterfully captures not only Saint Jerome’s physical appearance but also his inner strength and unwavering dedication to God. This print serves as an homage to Czech heritage artistry while highlighting Petrak’s skillful craftsmanship. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork invites viewers into an intimate encounter with one of Christianity’s most revered figures—Saint Jerome.
