Kneeling Saint Jerome

Severo da Ravenna

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze sculpture titled "Kneeling Saint Jerome" by Severo da Ravenna. The sculpture depicts a man with a beard, on one knee, dressed in a long robe. The man has short hair and a beard and mustache. His left hand is on his chest; his right hand is on his stomach. His right knee is bent and on the ground; his left leg is bent behind him. The sculpture is made of dark brown metal, likely bronze. The background is gray and dark at the top, fading to light gray at the bottom. The sculpture appears to be on a plain surface. The overall posture of the man suggests prayer or supplication.
