"Saint Jerome" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque painter Francisco de Zurbarán, created in the 17th century. This work is part of a series of paintings that depict religious figures, a common theme in Zurbarán's oeuvre, which often focused on the lives of saints and martyrs. The painting portrays Saint Jerome, one of the four Latin Doctors of the Church, who is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, the Vulgate.

In this depiction, Zurbarán presents Saint Jerome in a moment of contemplative solitude, a theme that resonates with the Counter-Reformation ideals of introspection and penitence. The saint is typically shown in his study, surrounded by the tools of his scholarly work, including books, a skull symbolizing the contemplation of mortality, and a quill for his translations and writings. The painting is characterized by Zurbarán's mastery of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and shadow, which serves to highlight the spiritual and ascetic nature of the saint's life.

Zurbarán's "Saint Jerome" is admired for its austere realism and the painter's ability to convey the texture of materials, from the roughness of the saint's garment to the softness of his white beard. The work's composition and the use of light not only reflect the influence of Caravaggio but also demonstrate Zurbarán's unique style and contribution to Spanish Baroque art.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to Zurbarán's mature period. "Saint Jerome" is one of several versions that Zurbarán painted on this subject, each varying in detail and composition, indicating the popularity of the theme and the artist's ongoing engagement with the subject matter.

Today, "Saint Jerome" by Francisco de Zurbarán is considered an important work in the study of Spanish Baroque painting and continues to be exhibited in major museums around the world, where it is appreciated for its devotional content and artistic excellence.
