Saint Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgement

About this work

This sketch shows an older man kneeling in a rocky landscape, looking up with one hand raised. Behind him, a winged figure plays a trumpet while another angel hovers above, holding a scroll. The scene is dramatic, with swirling clouds and rough textures in the background. The man’s worried expression and the trumpet suggest a moment of divine warning. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create depth and movement, typical of this style. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Ribera made prints like this.
