The Vision of Saint Eustace is a painting by
Penitent Saint Jerome (Louvre) and the naturalism of Jacopo Bassano.[1] Critics argue the composition is based on two prints by Cornelis Cort, a Flemish printer - Penitent St Jerome and The Vision of Saint Eustace. These prints were in turn based on ideas by the Lombard painter Girolamo Muziano, who was also influenced by Venetian models.[2] The dogs and some other details are drawn from Saint Eustace, an engraving by Albrecht Dürer of the same subject.[2]
It is generally dated to 1585-1586 due to its stylistic similarities with other more-securely dated works from those years by the artist.National Museum of Capodimonte in Naples.
