"St Jerome in Penitence" (b. 61; M., Holl. 57) is a notable engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1496. This work is one of Dürer's many depictions of St. Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, who is often portrayed in art as a penitent hermit. The engraving captures the saint in a moment of deep contemplation and ascetic devotion, reflecting the humanist and religious currents of the time.

In "St Jerome in Penitence," Dürer presents the saint in a rugged, natural landscape, which is meticulously detailed, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in rendering textures and forms. St. Jerome is depicted kneeling before a crucifix, with a stone in his hand, symbolizing his penitential practices. The lion, a common attribute of St. Jerome, is also present, lying peacefully beside him, emphasizing the saint's legendary taming of the wild beast.

Dürer's engraving technique is masterful, with intricate lines and shading that create a sense of depth and realism. The composition is balanced, with the figure of St. Jerome centrally placed, drawing the viewer's eye to his expressive face and the intensity of his devotion. The surrounding landscape, with its rocky outcrops and sparse vegetation, enhances the sense of isolation and spiritual focus.

This work is significant not only for its artistic quality but also for its reflection of the Renaissance interest in individual piety and the human experience of the divine. Dürer's ability to convey complex theological themes through detailed and expressive imagery has made "St Jerome in Penitence" a celebrated piece in the history of printmaking. The engraving is part of a broader body of work by Dürer that explores religious themes with a profound sense of humanity and introspection.
