Antique Italian Painting From The 17th Century, Saint Jerome Penitent

COD 0986 
Great religious painting from the 17th century. Oil on canvas painting depicting a splendid Saint Jerome attributable to the Italian painter Giovanni Battista Langetti (The work is not currently accompanied by an expertise, but it can be requested upon payment of the relevant additional costs). The naturalistic influence of Ribera's painting, particularly evident in our painting, will be added to the baggage that Langetti brings with him from Genoa and will be further enriched after his move to Venice. In the composition we find the iconographic attributes typical of the representation of the Saint. The doctor of the Church is portrayed as a penitent hermit in the desert intent on adoring the crucifix. Furthermore, the tamed lion at his feet reminds us that Jerome had cared for the animal and it in turn had become a faithful companion. 20th century frame in carved and gilded wood, with some signs of aging. Artwork already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and recoloring in small spots. Overall in good condition. Interior size H 98 x W 85 cm.
