“The Penitence of St Jerome”

Year 1507, Oil on Panel, Staatliche Museen,

The picture shows St Jerome facing a tree branch illuminated by a special radiance; probably inflicting pain and injury on his body in an act of penitence; a lion is crouching beside him, and a church is seen behind, it’s a wooded area, and the work highlights a shaded area and the daylight a little away .
