"Saint Jerome in His Study" is an iconic oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonello da Messina, created around 1475. The work is renowned for its meticulous detail, use of perspective, and the serene atmosphere it evokes. It depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, engrossed in his work within the quiet confines of his study. The painting is a masterful example of Antonello's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, from the wood grain of the furniture to the fur of the lion, which according to legend, was tamed by the saint and became his companion.

The composition is notable for its geometric structure and the use of light to create a sense of depth and volume. The saint is situated in a wooden enclosure that resembles a small room or study, with a window opening to a view of a distant landscape, which adds to the painting's sense of tranquility and contemplation. Antonello's attention to detail extends to the objects in the room, each carefully placed to reflect Saint Jerome's scholarly and ascetic life, including books, writing instruments, and a skull, symbolizing the contemplation of mortality.

"Saint Jerome in His Study" is often praised for its early use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of three-dimensionality. This painting is one of several renditions of Saint Jerome by Antonello da Messina, each exploring different aspects of the saint's character and iconography. The work is a testament to the cultural and intellectual spirit of the Renaissance, embodying the period's interest in humanism, the revival of classical learning, and the pursuit of knowledge.

The painting is held in high esteem not only for its artistic qualities but also for its influence on subsequent generations of artists. It is considered one of the masterpieces of 15th-century Italian art and continues to be studied for its innovative techniques and its impact on the development of Renaissance painting. "Saint Jerome in His Study" is currently housed in the National Gallery in London, where it remains an object of admiration and scholarly interest.
