St. Jerome Hearing the Trumpet of the Last Judgment

by Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra, circa 1645–1650

Medium
Reed pen and brown ink, heightened with white gouache
Dimensions
29.4 × 19.8 cm (11 9/16 × 7 13/16 in)
Notes

Living in the wilderness as a hermit, Saint Jerome heard trumpets sounding the Last Judgment; looking up, he saw the cross with Christ's body rising in front of him. Here the trumpet appears so tantalizingly close that Jerome reaches up to try to touch it. His attributes, a lion and a book, surround him.

Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra built the dynamic composition from lively, quick strokes. Hatching and cross-hatching emphasize the rippling muscles on the saint's arms and back and elaborate the folds of fabric around his waist. They suggest the undergrowth on the left and the lion's fur.

The Assumption of the Virgin

by Francisco de Herrera el Mozo, circa 1648–1653

Medium
Pen and brown ink, brown wash over black chalk
Dimensions
30.6 × 21.7 cm (12 1/16 × 8 9/16 in)
Notes

Through lively penwork, de Herrera imparted a sense of movement to the substantial figure of the Virgin and the stable, classical pyramid form of the group. The artist's fertile imagination worked quickly; after doing some sketching with black chalk, he applied free-flowing, crisscrossing, tangled threads of ink ranging from the dark squiggles of the Virgin's drapery to the light tracings on the angels' robes below. The fluent washes add drama to the composition.
