"St. Jerome in Penitence" (B.61; M., Holl.57) is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1512. This work of art is part of a series of masterful engravings by Dürer that depict religious and philosophical themes with intricate detail and profound symbolism. The engraving portrays St. Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), in a moment of solitary reflection and penance in the wilderness.

The composition of "St. Jerome in Penitence" is rich with allegorical elements and showcases Dürer's skill in creating texture and depth through his control of line. St. Jerome is typically depicted in a contemplative state, often accompanied by a lion, according to legend, which he removed a thorn from its paw. In Dürer's rendition, the saint is shown seated within a dark, wooded landscape, embodying the theme of withdrawal from worldly concerns to seek spiritual enlightenment. The inclusion of a skull and a crucifix further emphasizes the themes of mortality and redemption.

Dürer's "St. Jerome in Penitence" is a testament to the artist's technical prowess and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual art. The engraving is not only a reflection of Dürer's personal religious convictions but also an example of the Northern Renaissance's preoccupation with detailed observation of the natural world and the use of symbolism. As with many of Dürer's works, this engraving has been studied extensively for its artistic merit, iconography, and its place within the broader context of Dürer's oeuvre and the history of art.

The engraving is catalogued with the reference "B.61" in Adam Bartsch's "The Illustrated Bartsch," a standard reference for old master prints, and "Holl.57" in the Hollstein's Dutch & Flemish etchings, engravings and woodcuts ca. 1450-1700 catalogue. It remains an important work for scholars of Renaissance art and for those interested in the visual representation of Christian saints and their iconography.
