"San Girolamo Legge Le Sacre Scritture" (Saint Jerome Reading the Holy Scriptures) is a notable work by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, painted circa 1590. This artwork is a quintessential example of Carracci's mastery in combining the spiritual depth and intellectual rigor of the Counter-Reformation era with the emerging Baroque style's emphasis on emotion and naturalism. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a pivotal figure in Christian history, known for translating the Bible into Latin, the Vulgate, which remained the Catholic Church's official Latin Bible for centuries.

In this painting, Carracci presents Saint Jerome in a moment of quiet contemplation, deeply engrossed in reading the sacred texts. The setting is typically a modest, secluded space, reflecting Jerome's withdrawal to the desert to live as a hermit, a narrative that Carracci revisits from Christian hagiography to underscore themes of devotion, penitence, and scholarly pursuit. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique Carracci adeptly borrowed from his contemporaries, notably Caravaggio, highlights the emotional intensity and spiritual fervor of the scene. The saint's intense focus and the serene ambiance of his surroundings are rendered with a naturalism that was innovative for its time, moving away from the Mannerist style prevalent in the late 16th century.

"San Girolamo Legge Le Sacre Scritture" is celebrated for its art historical significance, marking a transition towards a more realistic and emotionally resonant form of painting. Carracci's work is pivotal in the development of the Baroque period, influencing a generation of artists in Italy and beyond. This painting not only exemplifies Carracci's skillful handling of religious subjects but also reflects the broader cultural and religious shifts of his time, making it a critical study for scholars of Baroque art and the Counter-Reformation.
