Saint Jérôme en érudit

ca. 1610
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 619
Le Greco a peint au moins cinq tableaux de saint Jérôme. Sur cette toile qui précède de quelques années la mort de l’artiste, le saint, vêtu de la pourpre cardinalice, est assis devant un livre ouvert, qui rappelle sa contribution à la traduction de la Bible du grec au latin. Son visage émacié, ses joues creuses et sa longue barbe blanche évoquent ses pratiques bien connues de pénitent. Cette synthèse novatrice entre deux facettes du saint — l’érudition et l’ascèse — confère au tableau son caractère particulier.
