- 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). According to scripture, 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 as seen in this example. We also see a bloody wound on his chest suggesting his penitential beating with a rock. A powerful composition of St. Jerome! Size: 10.375" L x 7.75" W (26.4 cm x 19.7 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA collection; ex. Dr. David Harner collection, Arkansas, USA, 1950s to 1960s
