St. Jerome in His Study Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528). St. Jerome in His Study, 1515. Engraving on laid paper, 9 5/8 x 7 1/4 in. (24.4 x 18.4 cm). Saint Jerome in His Study is one of Albrecht Dürers three so-called master engravings, along with Knight, Death, and the Devil and Melencolia I, on view nearby. Each image emerges from the paper with extraordinary clarity, with different textures and minute gradations of light and shadow conjured from a careful, dense arrangement of inked marks and lines. Dürers contemporary, the scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam, praised the artists graphic brilliance, stating that he “could express absolutely anything in monochrome, that is with black lines only—shadows, light, reflections, emerging and receding forms.” Like the Evangelists in Simon Benings nearby illuminations, Saint Jerome here appears at work in a cozy study rendered in careful perspective. The crucifix is a symbol of his faith, and the bishops hat and the hourglass hung from pegs
