学者の姿をした聖ヒエロニムス

El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos) Greek

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 619

エル・グレコは、聖ヒエロニムスを主題とする作品を5枚以上制作しました。彼が亡くなる数年前に描かれたこの作品では、開いた本を前に枢機卿の赤い衣装をまとった聖ヒエロニムスが座っています。彼は、聖書をギリシャ語からラテン語に翻訳した自らの功績を認めています。痩せ細った頬と白く長い顎髭は、一般に馴 染みのある告解者としてのヒエロニムスのイメージを印象づけるものです。この作品は、聖ヒエロニムスの学者と修道士のふたつの役割を融合させた斬新な手法が際立っています。
