Coinciding with the many events commemorating the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death, the Metropolitan Museum is displaying one of his most extraordinary works, Saint Jerome in the Wilderness.  The painting is on loan from the Vatican Museums.  This unfinished work, which was started around 1483, brings to mind other paintings by Leonardo because of its background landscape and tones of ochre and green.  But  what draws one in is mostly the face and posture of the saint which strongly evoke his devotion and at the same time his torment.  It seems almost trite to say it but Leonardo’s psychological understanding and artistic genius are on full view in this painting.  See it.
