Abstract

For many centuries, Western European art drew its subjects from ancient history, mythology and the Bible. The artists paid great attention to the depiction of saints, for each of whom, over time, a pictorial canon with its own attributes and certain subjects was formed. As a result, the viewer not only easily recognized a particular saint, but he could also get acquainted with the facts of his biography and the role he played in the history of the church. Saint Jerome of Stridon was one of the most popular among artists, of all the Fathers of the Church he was portrayed more often than others. The article discusses the formation of this canon on the example of Jerome’s life and work. It is based on a literature review of this topic and it contains the main studies of the biography and literary activity of Jerome, from which the artists drew subjects for their works. The article describes chronologically the vitae of St. Jerome, his hagiography from Jacobus de Voragine’s “The Golden Legend”, biography and posthumous legends, miracles and appearances of the saint from “Hieronymianus” by Giovanni d’Andrea. Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote a historical biography of Saint Jerome. Since the 19th century a large number of scientific studies of Jerome’s life and work has appeared. The article analyzes specific works of Jerome, which were also sources for pictorial images. Special attention is paid to a review of art history literature, as well as medieval bestiaries, since the paintings with St. Jerome are filled with numerous symbolic animals. A review of literature and sources on the stated topic will help stimulate researchers to further study the relationship between the lives of saints and their iconography in art, identify gaps in research on this topic and specify aspects that researchers have not yet paid attention to.

14 - 17世纪西欧绘画艺术的题材来源——以斯特里登的圣杰罗姆肖像为例
几个世纪以来,西欧艺术从古代历史、神话和圣经中汲取主题。艺术家们非常注重对圣徒的描绘,随着时间的推移,每个圣徒都形成了具有自己属性和某些主题的绘画经典。因此,观众不仅可以很容易地认出一个特定的圣人,而且还可以了解他的生平和他在教会历史上所扮演的角色。斯特里登的圣杰罗姆是最受欢迎的艺术家之一,在所有的教父中,他被描绘的次数比其他人多。本文以杰罗姆的生活和工作为例,探讨了这一经典的形成。它是基于对这一主题的文献综述,它包含了对杰罗姆的传记和文学活动的主要研究,艺术家们从中为他们的作品绘制了主题。文章按时间顺序描述了圣杰罗姆的生平,他的圣徒传记来自雅各布·德·沃拉金的“黄金传说”,传记和死后的传说,奇迹和圣人的出现来自乔瓦尼·德·安德里亚的“耶罗尼米亚努斯”。鹿特丹的伊拉斯谟写了一本关于圣杰罗姆的历史传记。自19世纪以来,出现了大量关于杰罗姆生平和工作的科学研究。本文分析了杰罗姆的具体作品,这些作品也是绘画图像的来源。特别注意的是艺术史文献的回顾,以及中世纪的动物寓言,因为圣杰罗姆的画中充满了许多象征性的动物。对所述主题的文献和来源的回顾将有助于激发研究人员进一步研究圣徒的生活与其艺术肖像之间的关系,找出这一主题研究中的空白,并指明研究人员尚未注意的方面。
