Antonello da Messina - Saint Jerome in his Study

#GJWculture #Antiques #Art #ArtExplained #Paitting
The work titled Saint Jerome in His Study by Antonello da Messina is a milestone in the history of relations between the Italian and Flemish schools in the 1400s. First notice the contrast between the small dimensions of this picture and the great precision with which every detail is depicted. Stop to admire the care with which the furnishings and individual objects are depicted. But many other symbolic elements are hidden in this painting, such as the partridge and peacock you can see in the foreground at the base of the arch.
