Fray Jose Sigüenza, The sitter is one of the Order of Saint Jerome. He was an expert in Arabic and a counselor to Philip II of Spain, and also the librarian to the monastery of El Escorial in Madrid. This library still owns the original of this work; copies such as this exist elsewhere. The artist assisted Federico Zuccaro in the decoration of the cloister at El Escorial. His stylistic qualities here are shown, with the naturalism and realistic detail of seventeenth-century Spanish painting. (VADS), 1602-1606
Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.SPAN.0109; Public Notes: The photographer's notes attribute the painting to the Sanchez Coello, the artist to whom the painting was previously attributed.

Saint Jerome in the Wilderness, Scene of Saint Jerome in the wilderness in penitence., c 1510 - 1515
Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.LOMB.0692; Public Notes:
Saint Jerome, This depiction of Saint Jerome does not include many of the traditional attributes associated with the saint. The artist shows a bearded man in a dark cloak with hands together over a paper, book, and pens, as he looks up to heaven. A light seems to shine down from the sky on the saint. Overall, there is little to confirm that this is Saint Jerome., 1636
Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.SPAN.0123; Public Notes: Below the painting the following is written: "C-St. Jerome, by Antonio Puga. Dated 1636. Canvas. (Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle)." The letter before the title is probably indicative of the picture's placement in a book.
Saint Jerome, This depiction of Saint Jerome incorporates many of the traditional attributes. There is a lion at his right arm, what looks to be a stone in his right hand, a crucifix in his left, and a skull on the table before him. He is shown in the crimson robes of a cardinal (since many of his responsibilities were those that would later be under the cardinals) and a crimson hat held above his head. An open book, closed book with paper inside, and quill in ink suggest his translation of the Bible into Latin. The artist's portrait of the saint shows him seemingly in the midst of his work, but gazing up to heaven for respite., 1636
Vanderbilt photo identifier: SC.MSS.088.SPAN.0122; Public Notes: Below the painting the following is written: "St. Jerome, by Puga. Dated 1636. Canvas, 1.31 by 1.03 m. (Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle)" The measurements on this record reflect those from the Bowes Museum online archive.
