Saint Jerome Reading in an Italian Landscape, c. 1654, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Dutch, 1606-1669, 10 1/4 x 8 1/4 in. (26.04 x 20.96 cm) (plate), Etching, drypoint, and engraving, The Netherlands, 17th century, Rembrandt never traveled far from the flat Dutch landscape, yet here he placed Jerome in a mountainous Italian setting. The artist lifted the elaborate architecture of the distant buildings from Venetian prints and drawings produced more than a hundred years earlier; yet the ambiguity of the overall space anticipates the work of Paul Cézanne two centuries later. The saint is immersed in a book as his trusted lion stands guard. Rembrandt's spare linework causes Jerome seemingly to dissolve in the noonday sun, a visual metaphor for the sacred realm.
