EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jusepe de Ribera's masterpiece, "Saint Jerome and the Angel". Painted in the 17th century, this oil on canvas artwork is currently housed at the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. The painting depicts Saint Jerome accompanied by a celestial angel, creating a scene of profound religious significance. Ribera's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the essence of this holy encounter. The saint is portrayed deep in contemplation, his aged face reflecting wisdom and devotion. Meanwhile, the angel stands beside him with ethereal grace and serenity. The composition exudes an air of mystery and spirituality. In particular, Ribera's use of light and shadow adds depth to the image while emphasizing Saint Jerome's introspection. The presence of a skull symbolizes mortality and serves as a reminder of life's transience. Through this artwork, Ribera invites viewers into a moment where earthly existence converges with divine intervention. It evokes questions about faith, mortality, and our place within the grand tapestry of existence. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures this iconic piece through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even from afar. This photograph not only preserves Ribera's artistry but also offers us an opportunity to reflect on timeless themes that continue to resonate today.
