Maria verschijnt aan de heilige Hieronymus 1588

This etching by Agostino Carracci, titled "Maria verschijnt aan de heilige Hieronymus" (Mary appears to Saint Jerome), depicts a dramatic scene from Christian tradition. Mary, surrounded by angels, descends from heaven to appear before Saint Jerome, who is kneeling beside a lion. The scene is set in a landscape with mountains, a bridge, and a ruined building, enhancing the sense of drama and grandeur. Carracci's work demonstrates his mastery of chiaroscuro, evident in the contrasting light and dark areas of the etching, creating a striking and evocative composition.
