The Vision of Saint Jerome, Giovanni Battista Langetti , c. 1660, Cleveland Museum of Art: European Painting and Sculpture

Jerome (c. AD 347–420) studied Greek and Latin literature in Rome, but eventually pursued theology, perceiving his conduct as corrupt and sinful. Around AD 374, Jerome had a vision of the Last Judgment in which an angel called him to task for his transgressions. Jerome then withdrew from society, learned Hebrew, and studied the Gospels, which led to his influential translations of the Bible. Langetti here follows a convention by depicting Jerome’s vision after he retreated from the world. Working in the northern Italian port of Genoa, Langetti absorbed Caravaggio’s impact, seen in the composition’s naturalistic bodies and dramatic light.

Henrietta Maria (25 November 1609 – 10 September 1669) was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland as the wife of Charles I. She was mother of his two immediate successors, Charles II and James II and VII. Contemporaneously, by a decree of her husband, she was known in England as Queen Mary, but did not like this name and signed her letters “Henriette R”.

Tl ; dr it’s a rather dark parody, Anne Boleyn was said to have a rather dark sense of humor/drama, so that kind of makes sense, but the embroidery is dated 1530 , I would imagine this wasn’t the kind of the thing she doodled in the margins after KoA actually died , probably more a way of venting whilst the uncomfortable ‘three people in a marriage’ were at perpetual loggerheads, although of course I cannot say for sure.

Death of Anne Boleyn and Ibrahim Pasha,1536🌙🌙🌙

‘How could Anne Boleyn attend a party right after KoA had died’, idk. How could Mary I get proxy-married right after Jane Grey and Guildford Dudley were executed? How could Henry VIII and Jane Seymour get married right after the executions of his wife, brother-in-law, and close friends?

Sometimes shit was fucked .
