Left unfinished when Leonardo da Vinci departed Florence for Milan around 1482, St. Jerome in the Wilderness (San Girolamo) offers a rare and powerful glimpse into the artist’s creative process and anatomical genius. Depicting the hermit saint beating his chest with a stone in penitence, the composition highlights Leonardo’s unmatched understanding of human neck and shoulder musculature, bone structure, and emotional torment. In the foreground, the saint’s attribute—a protective lion—rears back with an open jaw, while the background reveals a misty, cavernous landscape anchored by an outlined church facade. Preserved in the Vatican Museums, it remains one of Leonardo’s most dramatic and psychologically raw religious compositions.
