Saint Jerome or Penitent Saint Jerome is a c.1640-1650 oil on canvas painting by Guercino, now in the Royal Palace of Naples. [1]
Its origins are unknown - 20th century art critics argue it was commissioned by someone featured in the painter's accounts book. [1] The work dates to 1640–1650, a period when figures from Cento, Ferrara and Bologna were commissioning works from him for sums between around 50 and 67 scudi. [1]
The earliest definite reference to the work dates to 1680, when it was recorded at the Palazzo del Giardino in Parma as part of the Farnese collection, though it is unknown how it entered that collection. In 1734, before being moved to Naples, the Jerome was recorded as being at the Ducal Palace in Parma. [1] When Elisabeth Farnese's son Charles of Bourbon came to the throne of the Two Sicilies, it and the rest of the Farnese collection was moved to Naples. [1] The work was then largely forgotten before being re-evaluated at the end of the 20th century.

Jusepe de Ribera was a painter and printmaker, who along with Francisco de Zurbarán, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and the singular Diego Velázquez, are regarded as the major artists of Spanish Baroque painting. Referring to a series of Ribera exhibitions held in the late 20th century, Philippe de Montebello wrote "If Ribera's status as the undisputed protagonist of Neapolitan painting had ever been in doubt, it was not longer. Indeed, to many it seemed that Ribera emerged from these exhibitions as not simply the greatest Neapolitan artist of his age but one of the outstanding European masters of the seventeenth century." Jusepe de Ribera has also been referred to as José de Ribera, Josep de Ribera, and Lo Spagnoletto by his contemporaries, early historians, and biographers.
