Domenico Campagnola, a Venetian artist with a rebellious streak who was once accused of forging Titian drawings, created this intricate scene around 1530. On the far left, a bearded Saint Jerome sits peacefully with his tamed lion, seemingly ignoring the chaos in the foreground where a second lion attacks a donkey. This piece highlights the Venetian Renaissance love for rugged, dramatic landscapes that steal the spotlight from the religious figures themselves. You can even spot his signature 'DOMINCVS' tucked in the bottom right corner, claiming this busy world of hatched lines as his own.
