- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, 19th c. Antique tin retablo with painting of San Jeronimo, Defensor de la Fe y Abogado para la Buena Muerte (Saint Jerome, Defender of the Faith and Intercessor for a Holy or Peaceful Death, Dr.). Jerome suffered from an illness and experienced a vision in which Christ judged him. He withdrew to the desert/wilderness for four years still ill and also suffering from temptations of the flesh. Jerome combated this by beating his chest with a rock, studying Hebrew, and fasting. Following his retreat, Jerome was ordained a priest but asked that he not serve any church and instead remain a recluse. He became one of the four primary doctors of the Church. In retablos, Saint Jerome is always shown as a recluse or hermit in the wilderness. Symbols that accompany him include the crucifix, a book to indicate his scholarly nature, and the lion, a creature associated with Saint Gerasimus and the tradition of removing the thorn from its paw. We also see bloody wounds on his chest and limbs suggesting his penitential beating with a rock. Rich with symbolism! Size: 10" L x 7" W (25.4 cm x 17.8 cm)
Provenance: ex-Bill Bishop collection, Scottsdale, Arizona, acquired prior to 1990
