Leonardo’s dedication to connecting movements of the body with movements of the soul was manifest in the other great painting he probably vegan around that time, ‘Saint Jerome in the Wilderness (fig. 17). The unfinished work shows Saint Jerome, a fourth-century scholar who translated the Bible into Latin, during his retreat as a hermit in the desert. With an outstretched and twisted arm, he holds a rock that will beat to his chest in penance; at his feet is the lion that became his companion after he pulled a thorn from its paw. The saint is haggard and emaciated, exuding shame as he seems to implore forgiveness, yet his eyes show his inner strength. The background is filled with Leonard’s signature designs, including rocky outcropping and misty landscape. ~ Page 84
