EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgment," a captivating artwork created by the renowned Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera in 1621, is a powerful depiction of Saint Jerome, the patron saint of scholars, in the midst of the Day of Judgment. The black and white etching, a masterpiece of the Baroque era, showcases the intensity and drama of the apocalyptic scene. In the image, Saint Jerome, dressed in monk's robes, is seated in a contemplative pose, his eyes closed in deep concentration. A trumpet-blowing angel, with wings outstretched, hovers above him, the instrument's brass horn piercing the air. The lion, a symbol of Saint Jerome's strength and penance, lies peacefully at his feet. The image is a striking representation of the biblical concept of the Last Judgment, a day when all souls will be called upon to account for their deeds in life. The etching, a combination of drypoint and engraving techniques, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the human form and the raw power of the trumpet blast. The use of contrasting grey tones adds to the sense of drama and intensity, making this a truly captivating work of art. Originally created by Jusepe de Ribera, also known as "El Gran Granada" or "Lo Spagnoletto," this etching is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century. It has been exhibited in various galleries and art centres around the world, allowing generations to appreciate the beauty and significance of this powerful work. Whether viewed in a gallery or as a print, "Saint Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgment" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its depiction of the Day of Judgment and the role of Saint Jerome in the Christian faith.
