Saint Jerome (Ribera)
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (April 2024) |
Saint Jerome is a 1651 oil on canvas painting by Jusepe de Ribera. With Saint Sebastian and Saint Bruno Receiving the Rule, it forms a set of three paintings commissioned from him for the private quarters of the prior of the Certosa di San Martino in Naples, where they still hang.[1] Shown here translating the Vulgate Bible, the saint was one of the artist's most popular subjects - his Saint Jerome and the Angel of Judgement (Museo di Capodimonte) and Saint Jerome Reading (Gallerie dell'Accademia) are both also in Naples.
