NG 1418 is now accepted as the work of Antonello da Messina, and generally dated about 1475. Even in the early sixteenth century the attribution of this picture was disputed - some considering it to be partly by Jacometto and others regarding it as Netherlandish.
NG 1418 is an extraordinary imitation of a Netherlandish style and subject (Jerome had not normally been represented in his study in Italy) by an Italian artist of the fifteenth century. To a sophisticated pattern of linear perspective the artist has added the depiction of light entering the room from in front (where we stand) and behind.
