St Jerome was one of the four doctors of the early Church, and his Latin translation of the Bible was among his greatest works. On piatti da pompa he is depicted either kneeling in the wilderness (with or without his lion), or seen in close-up, gazing at the crucified Jesus.26 In both versions Jerome holds a stone with which he penitentially beats his bare chest in order to tame his sinful heart. In a unique rendering of the scene, a woman in contemporary dress, identified by name (VICENTIA), kneels in prayer in front of Jerome in the wilderness [Fig. 8.12]; as a sign of her humility she is depicted markedly smaller than the saint, a convention typical of some early Renaissance religious paintings.27 This work is an unusual document, as it inserts the client into the work (via image and text), alludes to the devotional relationship between the holy image and the viewer, and demonstrates that Deruta piatti da pompa could be personalised.
