"Hieronymus im Gehäuse" (Jerome in His Study) is a celebrated engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1514. This work is one of Dürer's three Meisterstiche (master engravings), alongside "Melencolia I" and "Knight, Death, and the Devil," which together represent the pinnacle of his achievement in engraving. "Hieronymus im Gehäuse" depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, engrossed in his work within the quiet confines of his study.

The engraving is renowned for its intricate detail and the masterful use of light and shadow, which creates a contemplative atmosphere befitting the intellectual and spiritual pursuits of the saint. Jerome is shown seated at his desk, surrounded by the tools of his scholarly work, including books, papers, and a writing instrument. A skull, a common symbol of mortality and penitence, is prominently displayed on the window ledge, reflecting the saint's meditative consideration of life and death.

Dürer's composition also includes a number of symbolic elements that enhance the thematic depth of the piece. A lion, often associated with Saint Jerome in iconography due to legends of his taming a lion in the wilderness, lies calmly in the foreground, further emphasizing the peaceful and domesticated nature of the scene. Additionally, the presence of a small dog, an hourglass, and a crucifix contribute to the rich allegorical context of the engraving.

"Hieronymus im Gehäuse" is not only a testament to Dürer's technical skill as an engraver but also reflects the intellectual and religious currents of the Northern Renaissance. The work invites viewers to contemplate the virtues of scholarly life and the search for divine wisdom. It remains a significant piece in the study of Renaissance art and continues to be admired for its beauty and complexity. The engraving is held in various museum collections and is frequently studied for its artistic and historical significance.
