San Girolamo in veste di erudito

ca. 1610
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 619
El Greco eseguì almeno cinque dipinti di san Girolamo. In questa versione, risalente agli ultimi anni della vita del pittore, il santo, che indossa la veste rossa cardinalizia, sta seduto davanti a un libro aperto, a riconoscimento del ruolo da lui svolto nel tradurre la Bibbia dal greco al latino. I tratti del volto incavato e macilento e la lunga barba bianca si riferiscono invece alla sua immagine di penitente, meglio conosciuta. Il quadro si distingue per il modo innovativo in cui l’artista ha sintetizzato i due ruoli di san Girolamo, quello di erudito e quello di asceta.
