St Jerome in the Wilderness — History & Facts
This depiction was made by incising lines directly into a metal plate with an etching needle. This technique yields only a small number of perfect impressions. The St Jerome was therefore considered a rarity even in Dürer’s own lifetime.
To meet demand for it, publishers brought copies on the market: at least five different copies of this print are known.
