| Description |  |
During his religious sojourn in the desert, Saint Jerome purified his spirit through physical suffering. Here, sheltered by vaulted ruins, the emaciated saint contemplates a crucifix as he clasps a rock with which he will beat his breast. The elongated forms; taut, linear rhythms; subtle colors; and meticulous details are typical of Ercole's stylistic sophistication.
