Dimension: 32,4 x 24,6 cm

Condition: a very crispy lifetime impression on hand-made laid paper of this early etching in the graphic oeuvre of Jusepe Ribera, with platetone, trimmed at the limit of the platemark, some small tears at the margins, stained in the central upper part; otherwise in excellent condition. 

Watermark: Basilisk watermark broadly similar to Tschudin 289 and 292-5 (dated 1585-1626), made by the Heusler family in Basle; see also Heawood 842 (1611), 844 (1644) and 845 (1646). 

This is almost certainly the first of Ribera's two etchings depicting Saint Jerome in the wilderness, interrupted by the sound of a trumpet. Its date (1621) indicates that it postdates the painting of the same subject Ribera sent to the Colegiata in Osuna in Spain. The five paintings by Ribera in Osuna were early commissions received soon after the artist settled in Naples.

Although the etching relates to the painting, there are many disparities. In the print the saint is shown seated and sharpening his pen rather than reclining and contemplating a skull, and the angel is suggested only by hands that emerge from clouds, clasping the trumpet. Such variations are typical of Ribera, who characteristically used printmaking to experiment with compositions that had already appeared in paint as well as to disseminate his images to a wider public. (Source: Metropolitan Museum)

"If Ribera's status as the undisputed protagonist of Neapolitan painting had ever been in doubt, it was no longer. Indeed, to many it seemed that Ribera emerged from these exhibitions as not simply the greatest Neapolitan artist of his age but one of the outstanding European masters of the seventeenth century."
