Landscape with the Penitent Saint Jerome

A wide panoramic landscape painted in oil on panel, with craggy rock formations on the left and a figure in red drapery kneeling beside a stone block near the foreground. A winding river, scattered towns with towers, and distant hills recede into a pale, cloud-filled sky.

Español: Paisaje con San Jerónimo penitente

Amplio paisaje panorámico pintado al óleo sobre tabla, con escarpadas formaciones rocosas a la izquierda y una figura con paño rojo arrodillada junto a un bloque de piedra en primer plano. Un río sinuoso, pueblos con torres y colinas lejanas se pierden bajo un cielo pálido lleno de nubes.

Ampla paisagem panorâmica pintada a óleo sobre painel, com formações rochosas escarpadas à esquerda e uma figura de manto vermelho ajoelhada ao lado de um bloco de pedra em primeiro plano. Um rio sinuoso, cidades com torres e colinas distantes se perdem sob um céu pálido cheio de nuvens.
