Description: | Like its pendant, the copy of Correggio's Madonna della Scodella in the same collection (inv. no. 541), this painting was probably painted during the travels of the Glasgow portrait painter John Graham-Gilbert, made to complete his formation as a painter. He might have copied it in the Galleria of Parma where it was on show after 1816. Correggio's Madonna with Saint Jerome was probably one of the most copied paintings of Italian Renaissance. Jonathan Richardson, in 1722, mentions ten copies in Parma alone. Both pictures have been copied considerably reduced in size. | Subjects: | figure; religion (Virgin St Jerome) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Graham-Gilbert, John (British artist, 1794-1866) Æ After Correggio (Italian painter, ca. 1489-1534) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8784... | Go to resource |
