About the piece
Painted in 1640 by the Spanish master Jusepe de Ribera, this work captures Saint Jerome in a moment of spiritual contemplation. Ribera's characteristic use of Tenebrism—a dramatic play of light and shadow—highlights the weathered features of the saint and the brilliant saturation of his red robe, making it a commanding piece for any collection.
