The Vision of St Jerome is a 1550 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows an old man with a long white beard lying on the ground. He’s wearing a red robe and looks tired, with one arm stretched out. Above him, three winged figures hover in a dark sky, their faces blurred and hands reaching toward him. The dark background makes the man and the figures stand out sharply. Notice how the light hits his face and robes, creating strong contrasts. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works.
