Titian's St Jerome May Be Found After 300 Years
Edward Sells of St Louis says he identified Titian's St Jerome painted around 1531 and missing since 1629. He bought it for under 100 dollars a year ago from Allison K Stewart who received it from a Honduran padre in 1900 after a silver gift. Stewart found it in San Geronimo and Sells cites a Gonzaga lineage to Honduras with Cortez era transfer. A Churchill-era biographer, Mrs Julia Ady, supports Titian authorship. The canvas is old hand made with red clay fill.
