"St. Jerome in His Study (Without Cardinals Robes)" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. Created in 1514, this piece is part of a trio of master engravings by Dürer, which also includes "Melencolia I" and "Knight, Death, and the Devil." These works are often celebrated for their intricate detail, technical precision, and profound symbolic content.

The engraving depicts St. Jerome, one of the four Latin Fathers of the Church, in a serene and contemplative setting. Unlike other representations where St. Jerome is often shown in cardinal's robes, Dürer chose to portray him in a simpler, more humble attire, emphasizing his scholarly and ascetic lifestyle. The saint is seated at a desk within a well-appointed study, surrounded by books, a crucifix, and various scholarly instruments, symbolizing his dedication to translating the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate).

Dürer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of textures and the play of light and shadow, which create a sense of depth and realism. The engraving also includes a lion and a dog, traditional symbols associated with St. Jerome, adding layers of meaning to the composition. The lion, according to legend, became Jerome's loyal companion after the saint removed a thorn from its paw, while the dog symbolizes loyalty and vigilance.

This work is not only a testament to Dürer's technical prowess but also reflects the intellectual and spiritual currents of the Renaissance. It captures the humanist ideal of the scholar-saint, blending religious devotion with a pursuit of knowledge. "St. Jerome in His Study (Without Cardinals Robes)" remains a significant piece in the study of Renaissance art and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical value.
