"St. Jerome and the Lion" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi. Created in the mid-15th century, this painting is celebrated for its depiction of the Christian hermit Saint Jerome, who is famously known for translating the Bible into Latin, the Vulgate. The artwork is distinguished by its portrayal of a legend in which St. Jerome removes a thorn from a lion's paw, leading the animal to become a devoted companion to the saint and a protector of his monastery.

Fra Filippo Lippi, born around 1406 and deceased in 1469, was a Carmelite friar whose contributions to the Italian Renaissance include both religious and secular compositions, characterized by their delicate execution and the emotional depth of their subjects. "St. Jerome and the Lion" exemplifies Lippi's skill in blending narrative storytelling with theological symbolism, a hallmark of his artistic legacy. The painting is notable for its detailed landscape, the serene yet expressive faces of its figures, and the harmonious interaction between human and animal, reflecting the peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between the natural and spiritual worlds.

This work is part of a broader tradition of Renaissance art that sought to humanize religious figures and make their experiences and virtues accessible to contemporary audiences. Through "St. Jerome and the Lion," Lippi contributes to the visual culture of the period by exploring themes of compassion, redemption, and the possibility of understanding and kinship across the boundaries of species. The painting remains a significant example of Fra Filippo Lippi's mastery in capturing the essence of Christian narrative through the medium of paint, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and spiritual depth.
