San Geronimo: santo de retablo is a 1700 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a bearded man in a red robe, sitting with one hand raised as if blessing or speaking. His face is serious, with a dark beard and mustache. The background is simple gold, and the edges of the wood panel are worn and cracked. The colors are flat and bright, with no shadows to suggest depth. The figure looks like a religious figure, possibly a saint, based on the gesture and the way he’s dressed. This style comes from the Baroque movement.
