"The Penitence of St. Peter; and St. Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgement" is a notable work by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera (1591–1652), also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. This artwork, comprising two distinct but thematically connected pieces, reflects Ribera's mastery in depicting religious themes with intense emotional depth and dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristics of the Tenebrist style that flourished during the Baroque period.

Jusepe de Ribera, born in Valencia, Spain, spent most of his productive years in Italy, where he was profoundly influenced by the works of Caravaggio. This influence is evident in "The Penitence of St. Peter; and St. Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgement," where Ribera employs dramatic contrasts of light and dark to emphasize the emotional and spiritual turmoil experienced by the subjects. The artworks are significant for their depiction of penitence and divine revelation, themes that were prevalent in Counter-Reformation art, aimed at inspiring piety and devotion among viewers.

"The Penitence of St. Peter" portrays the apostle Peter in a moment of remorse and sorrow after having denied Jesus thrice before the rooster crowed, as described in the New Testament. Ribera's depiction of St. Peter is powerful, focusing on the saint's expressive face, which conveys a profound sense of guilt and repentance. The use of chiaroscuro intensifies the emotional impact of the scene, drawing viewers into St. Peter's experience of penitence.

In contrast, "St. Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgement" captures the moment when St. Jerome, the Christian scholar and translator of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), hears the divine trumpet signaling the end of times. Ribera presents St. Jerome in a state of alertness, with a dramatic expression that reflects his realization of the impending Last Judgement. This piece, like its companion, showcases Ribera's skill in rendering the textures of skin, hair, and the rugged landscapes that often accompany his hermit saints.

Together, these works exemplify Ribera's contribution to Baroque art, demonstrating his ability to convey complex theological concepts and human emotions with realism and intensity. "The Penitence of St. Peter; and St. Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgement" remain significant in the oeuvre of Ribera, offering insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of 17th-century Spain and Italy. Through these paintings, Ribera communicates the themes of repentance, divine judgment, and the possibility of redemption, resonating with viewers across centuries.
