Label Copy

This painting was originally part of a series of either ten or thirteen large canvases depicting the founders of the monastic orders of Catholicism. It shows Saint Jerome dressed as a cardinal, accompanied by the lion that is his usual identifying attribute, and gesturing towards the trumpet at upper left, a reference to the saint’s vision of the Last Judgment. The series of saints was popular, and Zurbarán and his workshop produced multiple examples for monasteries both in Spain and in the New World. Paintings of this sort were, however, often exhibited in the open-air cloisters of the monasteries for which they were made, a situation that explains the dam¬aged state in which many are found today. The San Diego Saint Jerome and a Saint Benedict in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, are the only surviving examples from Zurbarán’s original set, and the background and the lion of this canvas are damaged and considerably repainted.
