      Attributed to BLAS DE PRADO (Camarena, Toledo, around 1545- Madrid, 1599). "St Geronimo". Oil on canvas.

      Est: €6,000 - €7,000

      Attributed to BLAS DE PRADO (Camarena, Toledo, around 1545- Madrid, 1599). "St Geronimo". Oil on canvas. Reengineered. 18th century frame. Measurements: 130 x 108 cm .; 140 x 120 cm. (Frame). This canvas deals with the theme of St. Jerome penitent in the desert through a scenographic and open composition, with a silver lighting that successfully enhances the pathos of the scene. The painting is attributed to Blas de Prado, whose work was characterized by his monumental figures, skillfully modeled with a contrasting light, as is the case here. The saint appears full-length, chiseled by the chiaroscuro, his torso being naked and the muscles of his legs partially covered by the draped mantle, of intense crimson tone. The saint appears in a rocky environment, open to a nocturnal landscape with a waterfall. Next to him we see the lion, lying at his feet, the skull and a crucifix, all enveloped in a nuanced penumbra. Blas de Prado was a painter of whom we have, so far, little biographical information. He worked mainly in Toledo, where there are some contracts located in the surroundings of the city and where contemporary sources mention him. It is also known that he worked at the court, earning the appreciation of Philip II. It is known that he painted portraits, Francisco Pacheco considers him as the introducer of the still life in Spain (he was Juan Sánchez Cotán's teacher) and, besides knowing the Italian production by his works in El Escorial, there are those who defend the possibility of a trip to Italy that would allow him to know the works first hand, influenced, above all, by Michelangelo in several conserved works. At present, it is possible to appreciate his painting only in outstanding private collections and institutions such as the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Museum of Santa Cruz in Toledo, the Cathedral of Valencia, the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria la Mayor in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo), in the Palace of Liria (Madrid), drawings in the Uffizzi Gallery in Florence, the Louvre Museum in Paris, etc..
