"St. Jerome in the Wilderness with an Angel" (Bartsch 4) is a renowned etching by the Spanish Tenebrist painter and printmaker Jusepe de Ribera (also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto). Created in the 17th century, this work of art exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting religious subjects with a dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the Tenebrist style that emerged during the Baroque period. The etching portrays St. Jerome, a significant Christian scholar and a Doctor of the Church, in a moment of solitary contemplation and penance in the desert, a theme that was popular in Counter-Reformation art.

In the etching, St. Jerome is typically shown accompanied by an angel, who is often interpreted as providing divine inspiration or comfort to the saint during his retreat from worldly affairs. The composition is marked by Ribera's attention to the physical and emotional intensity of the scene, with St. Jerome's gaunt figure and expressive face reflecting his spiritual fervor and ascetic lifestyle. The inclusion of the angel adds a supernatural element to the work, emphasizing the saint's connection to the divine.

Ribera, who was active in Naples for most of his career, was heavily influenced by the naturalism of Caravaggio and the dramatic chiaroscuro of the Italian Baroque. His works are noted for their realism, psychological depth, and the skillful rendering of textures and surfaces. "St. Jerome in the Wilderness with an Angel" is a fine example of Ribera's etchings, which, although less numerous than his paintings, are highly regarded for their technical excellence and their contribution to the Baroque printmaking tradition.

This etching is catalogued as number 4 in the oeuvre of Ribera's graphic works by Adam von Bartsch, an 18th-century Austrian scholar and artist known for his extensive cataloging of old master prints. Bartsch's catalog remains a standard reference for the classification of European prints up to the 19th century. "St. Jerome in the Wilderness with an Angel" (Bartsch 4) is considered an important work within Ribera's graphic production and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
