TURA, Cosmè
(b. ca. 1430, Ferrara, d. 1495, Ferrara)

Saint Jerome

1474
Oil on panel, 100 x 57 cm
National Gallery, London

Tense figures, tormented draperies, sombre colouring, skilled foreshortening are all typical of Tura's work, which evinces the artist's combined assimilation of Flemish pathos, Florentine monumentality and plasticity, and Mantegna's illusionism.
