"Saint Jerome in His Study" is an engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, completed in 1514 during the Renaissance period. This work is one of Dürer's three Meisterstiche (master prints), alongside "Melencolia I" and "Knight, Death, and the Devil," which together represent the pinnacle of Dürer's achievement in engraving. The piece depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), engrossed in his work within the quiet solitude of his study.

The engraving measures approximately 24.5 cm by 19.1 cm and is renowned for its meticulous detail and the masterful use of light and shadow, which create a sense of depth and tranquility. Dürer's composition is rich with symbolism and reflects the intellectual pursuits of the Renaissance. Saint Jerome is shown surrounded by the tools of scholarship and writing, including books, a desk, and an inkwell. A skull, a common symbol of mortality and contemplation, is prominently displayed on the window ledge, while a small, obedient dog, symbolizing loyalty or the domestic life, sleeps peacefully at Jerome's feet.

Dürer's "Saint Jerome in His Study" is not only a testament to his technical skill as an engraver but also an embodiment of the era's humanist ideals, emphasizing the importance of knowledge, reflection, and the pursuit of a pious life. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and is housed in several major museum collections around the world. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit, iconography, and as an example of Northern Renaissance art.
