Saint Jerome
Paolo Veronese·1600
Historical Context
This Saint Jerome, attributed to Veronese's workshop or followers, represents the continuation of the master's style into the early 17th century. Veronese's sons and workshop carried on his manner after his death in 1588, fulfilling commissions in a style that maintained his chromatic brilliance. The late workshop treatment of Saint Jerome at San Pietro Martire demonstrates how Veronese's compositions were adapted and continued by his successors, the master's distinctive palette and spatial approach surviving his death in 1588.
Technical Analysis
The penitent saint is rendered with the warm palette and luminous flesh tones characteristic of the Veronese workshop tradition. The handling of the rocky wilderness setting demonstrates competent landscape work in the master's manner.
