Jusepe de Ribera

Spanish, 1591–1652

Jusepe de Ribera war ein spanischer Maler und Druckgrafiker, bekannt für seinen dramatischen Einsatz von Licht und Schatten sowie seinen Fokus auf die menschliche Figur. Er gilt als einer der führenden Künstler des spanischen Barock. Ribera wurde am 12. Februar 1591 in Játiva, Valencia, Spanien, geboren. Er wurde in Italien ausgebildet, wo er von Caravaggios Tenebrismus und den Werken anderer italienischer Meister beeinflusst wurde. Er verbrachte einen großen Teil seiner Karriere in Neapel, wo er eine prominente Figur in der lokalen Kunstszene wurde. Riberas Werke zeigen oft religiöse Themen, mythologische Motive und Porträts, die durch ihren Realismus und ihre emotionale Intensität gekennzeichnet sind. Zu seinen Hauptwerken gehören 'Das Martyrium des Heiligen Philipp' und 'Der lahme Junge.' Er starb am 2. September 1652 in Neapel, Italien, und hinterließ einen bleibenden Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Barockkunst in Spanien und darüber hinaus.
