About the sculpture
This enamelled terracotta panel relief is probably by the workshop of the Della Robbia made in the first half of the sixteenth century in Italy.
St. Jerome is represented in a blue tunic in the foreground of a rocky landscape, kneeling on the left with hands outstretched before a crucifix set in a mound on the right-hand side.
St Jerome was a Roman Catholic priest, who is well known for having translated the Vulgate, an early 5th century version of the bible in Latin
In art he appears often as one of the four Latin doctors of the church (the others being Augustine of Hippo, Ambrose and Pope Gregory I ) and is often represented in the costume of a cardinal.
