metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: For many centuries, Western European art drew its subjects from ancient history, mythology
  and the Bible. The artists paid great attention to the depiction of saints, for each of whom, over
  time, a pictorial canon with its own attributes and certain subjects was formed. As a result,
  the viewer not only easily recognized a particular saint, but he could also get acquainted with
  the facts of his biography and the role he played in the history of the church. Saint Jerome of
  Stridon was one of the most popular among artists, of all the Fathers of the Church he was
  portrayed more often than others. The article discusses the formation of this canon on the
  example of Jerome’s life and work. It is based on a literature review of this topic and it contains
  the main studies of the biography and literary activity of Jerome, from which the artists
  drew subjects for their works. The article describes chronologically the vitae of St. Jerome, his
  hagiography from Jacobus de Voragine’s “The Golden Legend”, biography and posthumous
  legends, miracles and appearances of the saint from “Hieronymianus” by Giovanni d’Andrea.
  Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote a historical biography of Saint Jerome. Since the 19th century
  a large number of scientific studies of Jerome’s life and work has appeared. The article analyzes
  specific works of Jerome, which were also sources for pictorial images. Special attention is
  paid to a review of art history literature, as well as medieval bestiaries, since the paintings with
  St. Jerome are filled with numerous symbolic animals. A review of literature and sources on
  the stated topic will help stimulate researchers to further study the relationship between the
  lives of saints and their iconography in art, identify gaps in research on this topic and specify
  aspects that researchers have not yet paid attention to.
