The Adoration (Madonna of Saint Jerome) (after Correggio)

after Correggio (Correggio c.1489 – Correggio 1534). Oil painting on canvas (print or pastel?), The Adoration (Madonna of Saint Jerome) (after Correggio), after Correggio (Correggio c.1489 – Correggio 1534), 17th century. A seventeenth-century copy of Correggio's celebrated Madonna of St Jerome, 1523/8 in the Galleria Nazionale, Parma. St Jerome, bearded, partly clothed in blue drapery, stands full-length on the right with his right side to the viewer, holding a scroll in his right hand, looking towards the Holy Family, in the centre. The lion, his attribute, stands behind him partially behind a red curtain on the far right. An angel shows Jesus, who sits on his mother's lap, the pages of a book, held by St Jerome in his left hand. Mary Magdalen, in white and yellow, holds his foot while he holds her hair with his left hand. St John the Baptist, as a child but holding his baptism cup, stands behind her on the far left. They are under a red canopy and a mountainous landscape extends beyond. Another much larger copy, sometimes attributed to Carlo Cignani (1628 - 1719), is from the Archibald McLellan collection in the Glasgow Museums, purchased in 1856.
