About the sculpture
This terracotta bust representing Saint Jerome is made in the style of Rustici in Italy (Florence) in ca. 1475-1500.
Giovanni Francesco Rustici (1474-1554) would be best known for his bronze group of the Preaching of the Baptist over the north door of the Baptistry in Florence (commissioned 1506; exhibited 1511). Rustici was also responsible for a series of terracotta roundels with mythological scenes in the Villa Salviati, Florence. About 1527-8 he left Florence for France, where he worked for the remainder of his life.
