"St. Jerome" is a notable painting by Diego Quispe Tito, a prominent artist of the Cusco School, which was a Roman Catholic artistic tradition based in Cusco, Peru during the Colonial period. This school is well-known for its unique fusion of indigenous styles of painting with European baroque elements, which emerged in the 16th century after the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire.

Diego Quispe Tito (1611–1681) was one of the most distinguished painters of this school, and his works are characterized by their intricate detail, vivid color, and incorporation of Andean elements. "St. Jerome," one of his masterpieces, exemplifies Quispe Tito's skill in blending the religious iconography favored by the Spanish with the local culture and landscape.

The painting depicts St. Jerome, a Christian priest, confessor, theologian, and historian, often known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate) and his commentaries on the Gospels. In art, St. Jerome is traditionally portrayed with a lion, in reference to the legend that he removed a thorn from a lion's paw, and with a stone, symbolizing his penitence. Quispe Tito's rendition of St. Jerome is likely to include these attributes, as well as possibly integrating the saint into a landscape that reflects the geography of the Cusco region.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the 17th century, during the mature period of Quispe Tito's artistic career. "St. Jerome" by Diego Quispe Tito is considered an important work for the study of the Cusco School and the cultural syncretism that defines the art of the period. The painting is not only a reflection of the religious fervor of the era but also an invaluable piece of cultural heritage that illustrates the blending of Andean and European artistic traditions.
