"Saint Jerome in Penitence" (B.61; M., Holl.57) is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1512. This work is part of a series of masterful engravings by Dürer that depict religious themes with a high level of detail and craftsmanship. The engraving measures 125 x 98 mm and is one of several representations of Saint Jerome by Dürer, showcasing the artist's fascination with the saint's image and story.

In this engraving, Dürer depicts Saint Jerome, a well-known Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, in a moment of penitential contemplation. The scene is set in a secluded wilderness, reflecting Jerome's withdrawal from society to a hermit's life in the Syrian desert. The composition is rich with symbolic elements, including a skull, a crucifix, and a lion, which according to legend, became Jerome's companion after he removed a thorn from its paw.

Dürer's "Saint Jerome in Penitence" is celebrated for its intricate detail and the emotional depth conveyed through Jerome's introspective pose and the stark, natural setting. The engraving is a testament to Dürer's skill in using light and shadow to create a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional surface, as well as his ability to blend Northern Renaissance artistic sensibilities with the classical influences he absorbed during his travels in Italy.

The work is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the iconography of Saint Jerome in the history of art. It is part of Dürer's larger body of work that contributed significantly to the development of engraving as a respected and powerful medium for artistic expression during the Renaissance. Today, "Saint Jerome in Penitence" can be found in various art collections and is studied for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of one of Christianity's most revered figures.
