Maestro bolognese (XVII) - San Girolamo che ode le trombe del Giudizio Universale

Seventeenth-century Bolognese master – "Saint Jerome Hearing the Trumpets of the Last Judgment"

Saint Jerome, depicted as a penitent hermit, gazes upward with an expression of spiritual ecstasy, his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly ajar. He is seated in a rocky landscape, wrapped in a deep red mantle that contrasts with the dark, somber background. The muscular torso is bare, and his hands are joined on his chest in a gesture of profound emotion. To his right, on a supporting ledge, lie a crucifix, an open book, and a skull. Above him, a trumpet — a symbol of the Last Judgment — appears as if sounding from the sky. The artist’s dramatic use of light and shadow, together with the expressive rendering of the figure, creates a powerful sense of awe and spiritual awakening.
