"Saint Jerome Reading" is a celebrated painting by the French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour, created around 1621-1623. This artwork is one of several depictions by La Tour of Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator renowned for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. The painting is housed in the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain.

The painting portrays Saint Jerome as an elderly, introspective man engrossed in reading a book. Typical of La Tour's style, the composition is marked by a dramatic use of light and shadow, showcasing the technique of chiaroscuro. The light, emanating from an unseen source, illuminates the figure of Jerome, highlighting his focused expression and the text, leaving the surrounding areas in deep shadow. This not only enhances the spiritual and contemplative mood of the scene but also adds a three-dimensional quality to the figure.

"Saint Jerome Reading" is noted for its quiet, reflective dignity and its subtle yet powerful rendering of light, both hallmarks of La Tour's mature style. The painting's restrained color palette and the stark contrasts between light and dark areas contribute to its serene and meditative atmosphere, inviting the viewer to a moment of quiet reflection alongside the saint. This work is exemplary of La Tour's skill in blending realism with a profound sense of spirituality, making it a significant piece in the study of 17th-century French painting.
