Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes, Vol. 1: June 1922
Another aspect of the reaction was an abandon ment of the monotonous lighting of classicism for the so-called teneéroso manner, according to which the greater part of the canvas is plunged in deep shadow and patches of high light are sharply re lieved agalnst 1t. The violent but impressive chiaro scuro - thus created was relished by the theatrically minded baroque masters, especially by Ribera. Cc cas1onally during the years of his maturity and even of his old age he emancipated himself wholly or in part from this mannerism. The Saint Jerome reveals it only in a very moderate form: the strong light upon the figure is vividly contrasted with the neutral background, and the illuminated face with the dark hair, but the color of the background is far removed from that profundity or sometimes even absolute blackness of shadow in which Ribera often indulged himself.
