The author presents an unpublished painting by Valentin de Boulogne, a 'Saint Jerome' datable to a relatively early moment in the French artist’s career, around the beginning of the 1620s. The new work, ascribed in its former collection to the circle of Jusepe de Ribera and clearly modelled on Caravaggio’s Saint Jerome in the Borghese Gallery, is emblematic of the significant evolution of Roman naturalism – expressed at its highest level by Valentin – which drew inspiration from the variations and enhancements brought by Ribera to the figurative repertoire established by Caravaggio.

Abstract

The author presents an unpublished painting by Valentin de Boulogne, a 'Saint Jerome' datable to a relatively early moment in the French artist’s career, around the beginning of the 1620s. The new work, ascribed in its former collection to the circle of Jusepe de Ribera and clearly modelled on Caravaggio’s Saint Jerome in the Borghese Gallery, is emblematic of the significant evolution of Roman naturalism – expressed at its highest level by Valentin – which drew inspiration from the variations and enhancements brought by Ribera to the figurative repertoire established by Caravaggio.
