About Artwork: (Probably 1485-90) "This is the outer face of the right-hand shutter of an altarpiece made for the Benedictine abbey at Werden. The outer face of the left-hand shutter, which is in the National Gallery’s collection, also shows four standing saints. Saint Jerome, dressed in red cardinal’s robes, pets the lion that was, according to his legend, his companion from the moment he removed a thorn from its foot. Next to him are Saint Benedict, founder of the Benedictine Order, and Saint Giles, a Benedictine monk. Both wear black robes – the habit, or uniform, of the Order. The small deer by Giles’s side was his only companion during his years living in a forest; according to his legend, he saved it from a hunter’s arrow. Finally, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stands reading. The latter three all carry abbots' staffs in recognition of their role in founding monasteries." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
