I. Palmeri, Italian
“St. Jerome and St. Ambrose”, 1607

Little is known about this minor artist of the early Baroque period. In this charming red chalk drawing, he has captured St. Jerome with his attendant lion with St. Ambrose in theological discussion while Satan mischievously watches from behind.
