Jacob Andries Beschey (1710-1786), The Penitent St. Jerome
Antwerp painter Jacob Andries Beschey is known for his paintings inspired by Peter Paul Rubens and other Flemish old masters, which he rendered in a more rococo style.
St. Jerome repents of his sins. He hit his chest with a stone and looks at the crucifix he has placed in front of him. At the foot of the crucifix lie the Holy Scriptures and a skull as a symbol of transience. Jerome has discarded his cardinal's hat and is dressed only in a crimson cloak; the upper part of his body is naked. This subject was extremely popular in the 16th and 17th centuries.
