ATTRIBUTED TO JACOPO PALMA, CALLED PALMA GIOVANE | SAINT JEROME

After Jacopo Tintoretto's (1518-1594) death, Palma became one of Venice's principal painters. He was born into a family of artists, but given his vast oeuvre, Palma was probably the most successful of them all. Although he painted Saint Jerome on multiple occasions, this composition closely relates to Palma's canvas in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Chambéry.¹
