Particularly intense and certainly of great charm the San Girolamo, of an unknown painter Caravaggio active in the seventeenth century that will not fail to arouse great interest among collectors for the obvious stylistic affinities with Ribera’s works, stimulating further insights from scholars that could lead to further intriguing discoveries about attribution. One hypothesis has already been advanced by Professor Pier
Luigi Leone De Castris with the attribution to the painter French caravaggesco Valentin De Boulogne (Estimated € 25,000/ 35,000), advanced in a detailed critical sheet that It accompanies the opera.
