With a dendrochronological Analysis from the Jordaens/Van Dyck Panel Paintings Project, April 2019.
The painting is registered in the RKD, The Hague under no. 241291 as an authentic work by Anthony van Dyck.
Dr. Susan Barnes examined the painting in the original in 2018 and has confirmed its authenticity.
This depiction of St Jerome in the Wilderness is a masterpiece by Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck. Its thickly applied and virtuoso brushwork is characteristic of the artist’s early creative period, when he worked closely with Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) in Antwerp.
The theme of St Jerome in the Wilderness exists in several versions in Van Dyck’s œuvre. Three such paintings were recorded in the estate of Peter Paul Rubens (see Michel, 1771). One showed the saint with an angel (Barnes 2004, I.33), another was a large-format composition, and the third was a small painting depicting St Jerome on his knees. This last one is possibly the painting offered here, and attests to Rubens’s appreciation of this work by his contemporary and pupil.
Anthony van Dyck is recorded in Rubens’s circle between 1616 and 1620. Around 1616–18, Van Dyck maintained his own workshop in Antwerp, where in 1618 he was recorded as a master in the Guild of St Luke. At that time, he received a remuneration comparable to that of Jacob Jordaens (1593–1678) and Peter Paul Rubens, in whose workshop he also worked as a freeman.
Our composition of Saint Jerome is most closely related to a large oil on canvas in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Barnes 2004, I.35, pp. 50–51). That version, like ours, shows the saint with a stone in his clenched right fist, just before he strikes his chest with it to stifle his desire. In our version, Jerome firmly holds the stone even closer to his chest, reinforcing the dynamic of the composition. The powerful posture contrasts with the aged body of the saint. The execution of the background and the saint’s attributes, such as the skull and prayer book, are rendered in less detail than in the Dresden version, helping to draw the viewer’s attention to the protagonist.
The present work was identified as being by van Dyck as early as 1944 by Max Jacob Friedländer, followed in 1950 by Leo van Puyvelde, by Prof. Dr Robert Eigenberger in 1955 and Erik Larsen in 1988 as well as Matías Díaz Padrón in 1995. Susan Barnes, who also examined this painting in 2018 and confirms its authorship, makes the tantalising suggestion that our version could be a study for the Dresden painting. However, the original and fully executed quality of this composition could also be an indication that it is a stand-alone work.
