"The Last Communion of Saint Jerome" is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque artist Domenico Zampieri, more commonly known as Domenichino. Completed between 1612 and 1614, this masterpiece is celebrated for its dramatic composition, emotional depth, and meticulous attention to detail, hallmarks of the Baroque style. The painting was commissioned by the Congregation of San Girolamo della Carità in Rome, a religious order dedicated to Saint Jerome, and it was intended to adorn the high altar of their church.

The artwork depicts the poignant moment of Saint Jerome receiving his last communion before his death. Saint Jerome, a revered Church Father and the translator of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), is shown in a state of frailty and devotion, capturing the solemnity and sanctity of the sacrament. Domenichino's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the spiritual intensity of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Saint Jerome and the Eucharist.

Domenichino's composition is notable for its balanced arrangement and the expressive gestures of the figures. The painting includes a variety of characters, from the attending clergy to the onlookers, each contributing to the narrative and emotional impact of the scene. The artist's skillful rendering of textures, from the soft folds of the garments to the aged skin of Saint Jerome, demonstrates his technical prowess and deep understanding of human anatomy.

"The Last Communion of Saint Jerome" has been highly influential in the history of art, inspiring subsequent generations of artists. It is often compared to earlier works on the same theme, such as those by Agostino Carracci and Caravaggio, yet Domenichino's interpretation is distinguished by its serene and contemplative atmosphere. Today, the painting is housed in the Pinacoteca Vaticana (Vatican Museums) in Vatican City, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and spiritual significance.
