Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 14.8 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 17.2 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 28.3 × 41.3 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Caravaggio's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 117 × 157 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Co-Cathedral of St. John, Valletta, Malta. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Caravaggio's "Saint Jerome Writing" is a mesmerizing study in light and shadow - a chiaroscuro fever dream that pulls you into its world. The aged saint sits hunched over his work, his weathered body a testament to a life of ascetic devotion.

The palette is stark and dramatic. Deep, darck umber dominate the background, broken only by the warm glow of Jerome's flesh and the shock of red drapery. It's as if Caravaggio's painted with fire and night.

Jerome's form is a masterpiece of anatomical precision. Every sinew, every wrinkle is rendered with unflinching realism. You can almost feel the strain in his shoulders as he leans forward, intent on his task.

The composition is deceptively simple, yet brilliantly effective. Jerome's diagonal pose creates a sense of dynamic tension, while the skull on the table serves as a stark memento mori - a reminder of the fleeting nature of earthly pursuits.

Caravaggio's technique here is nothing short of revolutionary. The play of light across Jerome's skin is so convincing, so tactile, it borders on the supernatural. It's as if the saint is illuminated from within, a burning ember of faith in the darkness.

But what truly captivates is the intimacy of the scene. We're voyeurs, peeking into a moment of intense concentration and spiritual communion. Jerome's furrowed brow, his intent gaze - it's all laid bare for us to witness.

In the end, "Saint Jerome Writing" is more than just a painting. It's a confrontation with mortality, faith, and the power of the written word. Caravaggio doesn't just show us a saint - he shows us the very essence of what it means to grapple with the divine.
