"Den Helige Hieronymus" (The Holy Jerome) is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Antonio de Pereda y Salgado (1611–1678). This work of art is a representation of Saint Jerome, a Christian priest, confessor, theologian, and historian, who is perhaps best known for his translation of most of the Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as the Vulgate). The painting is a quintessential example of the religious and mystical themes prevalent in the art of the Counter-Reformation period.

Antonio de Pereda was an artist whose work was characterized by a detailed and realistic style, with a particular talent for still life elements, which often found their way into his religious compositions. In "Den Helige Hieronymus," Pereda depicts Saint Jerome in a moment of contemplation or penitence, a common theme in art that reflects the saint's ascetic lifestyle and scholarly contributions to Christianity. The painting is likely to include traditional iconography associated with the saint, such as a cardinal's hat, a reference to his status as a Doctor of the Church, and possibly a lion, recalling the legend of Jerome removing a thorn from a lion's paw.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it would have been produced during Pereda's mature period, when he had fully developed his skill in combining realism with a sense of the divine. "Den Helige Hieronymus" is an example of the artist's deep engagement with religious subject matter and his ability to convey the spiritual fervor and intellectual intensity of his subjects.

As a significant work by Antonio de Pereda, "Den Helige Hieronymus" contributes to the understanding of Spanish Baroque art and its religious context. The painting is an important piece for both its artistic merit and its depiction of a key figure in Christian history. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the Baroque period, Spanish art, and the visual representation of saints and religious experiences.
