São Jerônimo como um erudito

ca. 1610
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 619
El Greco pintou pelo menos cinco quadros de São Jerônimo. Nesta versão, datada dos últimos anos da vida do artista, o santo, vestindo uma túnica vermelha de um cardeal, está sentado na frente de um livro aberto, em referência ao fato de ele ter traduzido a Bíblia do grego para o latim. As características faciais afundadas e magras e sua longa barba branca, no entanto, fazem alusão às práticas penitenciais do santo. O quadro é caracterizado pela forma inovadora como o artista sintetizou os dois papéis de São Jerônimo—o de erudito e o de um asceta.
