"Girl with a Tambourine (Allegory of Hearing)" is a 1637 painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. This work is part of a series of paintings representing the five senses, a common theme in Baroque art, which Ribera explored with his characteristic realism and attention to detail. The painting depicts a young girl holding a tambourine, which she appears to play with a focused expression, thus personifying the sense of hearing.

Ribera's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, is evident in this painting, highlighting the tactile qualities of the girl's skin and the intricate details of her attire. The girl's absorbed demeanor and the lifelike representation of her features are typical of Ribera's ability to capture the psychological intensity of his subjects.

Born in Játiva, Valencia, Spain, Ribera spent most of his career in Italy, where he was influenced by the works of Caravaggio and his followers. His style evolved to incorporate the naturalism and dramatic lighting of the Caravaggisti, while also being informed by his Spanish heritage and the Counter-Reformation's call for emotionally engaging and realistic religious art.

"Girl with a Tambourine (Allegory of Hearing)" is considered an important work in Ribera's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in rendering human emotion and his mastery of light and shadow. The painting is not only a representation of one of the senses but also an example of the cultural and artistic exchanges between Spain and Italy during the 17th century. It remains an enduring testament to Ribera's impact on the Baroque period and his legacy as one of the most significant Spanish artists of his time.
