EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Caravaggio's masterpiece, "Saint Jerome" painted in 1607. The image captures the essence of this renowned oil on canvas painting, attributed to Michelangelo Caravaggio, a prominent Italian artist from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. In the photograph, we see Saint Jerome depicted as a solitary figure immersed in his work. Bathed in soft light that gently illuminates his face and surroundings, he sits at a wooden desk adorned with an assortment of objects. A large hat rests beside him while a vibrant red cloak drapes over his shoulders. His long beard adds to the air of wisdom and contemplation that surrounds him. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the skull placed prominently on the desk before Saint Jerome. Symbolizing mortality and reminding us of life's transience, it serves as a poignant reminder for both viewers and the saint himself. Caravaggio masterfully captures every intricate detail through his skilled brushwork - from the folds in Saint Jerome's cloak to each strand of hair on his head. This print allows us to appreciate these details up close while preserving its timeless beauty. Displayed within Co-Cathedral of St. John in Valletta, Malta, this remarkable artwork continues to inspire awe even after four centuries since its creation. Through this photograph by eMauro Ranzani, we are transported back in time to experience Caravaggio's genius firsthand – an artistic journey that transcends boundaries and
