When the altarpiece was closed you would have seen the back of the wings, which are painted in grisaille (shades of black, white and grey). On the back of this panel is Saint Jerome, monk, hermit and translator of the Bible. A small lion jumps up at him like an eager dog. While Jerome was living as a hermit in the desert he removed a thorn from a lion’s foot and it became his devoted companion.
