EDITORS COMMENTS
The Last Communion of Saint Jerome, painted by Franz Kellerhoven in 1614 and later reproduced as a print in 1870, is a captivating piece found within the Vatican Museum's collection. This artwork belongs to the Bolognese school of art, showcasing the rich artistic tradition that flourished during the Baroque era in Italy. In this scene, we witness Saint Jerome receiving his final communion surrounded by cherubs and putti. The elderly saint kneels before an altar while a priest administers the sacrament. The painting exudes a sense of serenity and spirituality as it captures this significant moment in Christian faith. Kellerhoven's masterful use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the composition. The warm hues enveloping Saint Jerome create an atmosphere of reverence and devotion. As our eyes wander through the painting, we are drawn to intricate details such as the ornate communion cup held by one of the cherubs. This print serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence from two different centuries -the seventeenth century when Domenico Zampieri (known as Domenichino) first painted it, and then again in the nineteenth century when Paul Mantz reproduced it using chromolithography techniques. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness Saint Jerome's last moments on earth. It reminds us of Italy's rich cultural heritage and its profound impact on religious art throughout history.
