"Saint Jerome in the Wilderness" is an oil on canvas painting created by Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán circa 1639. The painting, which measures 107 cm × 82 cm (42 in × 32 in), depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian priest and theologian celebrated for his translation of the New Testament from Greek into Latin.

The painting adopts the popular theme of portraying Saint Jerome in ascetic retreat in the wilderness, a reflection of his penitential devotion. The composition features Saint Jerome in rapt contemplation, seated on a rock against a stark and desolate landscape. Interestingly, Zurbarán's painting stands out in its austere and ascetical approach that imbues spiritual intensity. An emblematic use of light and dark, a characteristic of Zurbarán, is palpably seen in this work.

Zurbarán has deftly portrayed the eremitic nature of Saint Jerome's penance, along with his emotional and spiritual struggle. The aesthetic elements of the painting, including the draping of the Saint's robe and the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the tension in Saint Jerome's face, contribute to a realistic depiction while resonating with the spiritual theme.

"Saint Jerome in the Wilderness" is considered one of Zurbarán's religious masterpieces and is currently held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. This painting exemplifies Zurbarán's commitment to portraying religious figures and themes with extraordinary realism and powerful emotion, further cementing his place in the annals of Spanish Baroque art.
