Antonio Molinari (Venice 1655 - 1704) St. Jerome Oil on oval canvas 94,5 x 75 cm   The artwork shows strong affinities in the drawing of the figure (advanced shoulder, slightly inclined posture) with many of Molinari's charactersi. You should see the identical posture of the Virgin in Madonna with Child and San Mauro in the church of the Madonna dell'Orto, Venice. The dark reminiscences, added to a lively execution and softened chiaroscuro, lead us to date the artwork between the 17th and 18th centuries.
