The work “Saint Jerome” refers to the early period of creativity Correggio. Expressive picture gives contrast lighting. The saint, depicted to the waist, looks thoughtfully at the skull, reflecting, presumably, on death. “Dialogue with the skull” reminds the viewer and that the saint led a hermitic way of life. This is indicated by the forest landscape in the background of the picture.
There are other details in the work that help to reveal the image of the saint and emphasize the most important moments of his life. Thus, under the elbow of Saint Jerome, there is a red cloth – a cardinal mantle. Nearby is an open book, talking about the scientific activities of Jerome.
