"The Penance of St. John Chrysostom" is an engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to around 1498. This work is part of Dürer's early period, where he was heavily influenced by the Northern Renaissance and Gothic traditions, as well as the emerging humanist ideas of the time. The engraving depicts the legend of St. John Chrysostom, who, according to apocryphal stories, was falsely accused of fathering a child with a princess. As penance, he retreated to the wilderness to live among the wild animals, which are shown in the scene as docile and harmonious in his presence.

The artwork is notable for its intricate detail and the use of hatching and cross-hatching to create depth and texture, which was a hallmark of Dürer's printmaking mastery. The composition reflects a blend of religious iconography and naturalism, a combination that Dürer would become renowned for throughout his career. "The Penance of St. John Chrysostom" is considered an important piece in Dürer's oeuvre, as it showcases his skill in engraving and his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions within a single frame.

The engraving is held in various collections around the world and has been the subject of scholarly analysis, particularly in the context of Dürer's development as an artist and his influence on the art of engraving. It also provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of late 15th-century Europe, where saints' lives were popular subjects for artistic representation and moral instruction.
