"St. Jerome 2" by Francisco de Zurbarán is a notable work by the Spanish Baroque painter, renowned for his religious compositions and still lifes. This painting is one of several representations of St. Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator renowned for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. Zurbarán's depiction of St. Jerome often portrays him as a penitent hermit, reflecting on mortality and spirituality, a theme common in Counter-Reformation Spain.

The artwork typically illustrates St. Jerome in a contemplative state, often accompanied by a skull, a symbol of his meditation on death and the transience of life. Zurbarán's mastery of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, is evident in this painting, highlighting the textures and folds of St. Jerome's garments and the starkness of the skull. The saint is usually depicted with a lion, referencing the legend of Jerome removing a thorn from a lion's paw, although the presence of this attribute can vary among Zurbarán's interpretations.

"St. Jerome 2" exemplifies Zurbarán's skill in creating a mood of solemnity and introspection, inviting the viewer to engage with the saint's spiritual journey. The painting's precise date of creation is not always clear, as Zurbarán produced numerous works on religious themes throughout his career, which spanned from the late 1620s to the 1660s. His paintings of St. Jerome are considered significant contributions to the Baroque period and religious art, reflecting the Catholic Church's emphasis on piety and devotion during the era.

As with many of Zurbarán's works, "St. Jerome 2" is admired for its austere realism, attention to detail, and the emotional resonance of its subject matter. The painting is a testament to Zurbarán's reputation as one of the great Spanish painters of the 17th century, alongside Diego Velázquez and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the Baroque period, Spanish art, and the iconography of saints.
