CARDINAL TRENTO.
In Cardinal’s robes. Sitting in an arm-chair.
BORN 1728, DIED 1784.
By Tintoretto.
HIEROME Trento came of a noble family in Padua, and, at the age of eighteen, entered the Order of the Jesuits at Bologna. He was zealous and pious in his calling, and unambitious by nature, although he attained to the honours of the Cardinalate. He died in the performance of his duty, while concluding one of the Lent services in the church of San Leone, at Venice. His posthumous works, treating of religion and morality, were published almost immediately after his death.
