"St. Jerome as a Scholar" (1600-1614) is an oil painting by the Greek-born Spanish Renaissance artist El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos). This work is one of several representations of St. Jerome by El Greco, showcasing the saint not in his traditional role as a penitent hermit, but rather as a learned scholar. The painting is notable for its portrayal of St. Jerome's intellectual pursuits, emphasizing his contributions to Christian scholarship, particularly the translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate.

In this depiction, St. Jerome is shown in his study, surrounded by books and scholarly objects, signifying his academic achievements and dedication to learning. The saint is typically depicted with a skull, symbolizing his contemplation of mortality and penitence, and this painting is no exception. El Greco's characteristic use of elongated figures and dramatic light is evident in this work, highlighting the spiritual intensity and inner life of the saint.

The painting is a testament to El Greco's unique style, which combined elements of Byzantine icons with Western painting techniques, resulting in a distinctive blend of Mannerism and mysticism. "St. Jerome as a Scholar" reflects El Greco's deep interest in religious themes and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through his art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or housed in a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. The work is an important example of El Greco's mature period, during which he produced some of his most celebrated religious compositions.
