Watercolor of the Madonna of St. Jerome

Watercolor of the Madonna of St. Jerome

Important watercolor depicting the Madonna of San Girolamo, a subject taken from the original oil painting on panel (205×141 cm) by Correggio datable to 1528, preserved in the National Gallery of Parma. The painting is St. Jerome’s presentation to Jesus of the Bible from Hebrew to popular Latin. Correggio shows the powerful figure of the old Jerome, with white hair and a shaggy beard who still holds the scroll of the ancient draft in his hand, accompanied by the lion he healed. The angel, on the other hand, holds the Bible addressing the Madonna and Child, as if to have her assent.
