"Saint Jerome Reading" is a celebrated oil painting by French Baroque artist Georges de La Tour, created circa 1621–23. This artwork is one of several depictions of Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator renowned for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. In La Tour's interpretation, Saint Jerome is portrayed in a moment of quietude, absorbed in his reading, which reflects the contemplative life for which the saint is often revered.

Georges de La Tour is known for his masterful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and to direct the viewer's focus. In "Saint Jerome Reading," this technique is evident in the dramatic illumination of the figure against a dark background, a hallmark of La Tour's style that contributes to the painting's serene and introspective atmosphere.

The painting's composition is simple yet powerful, with Saint Jerome typically shown with a book, often interpreted as the Bible, in a sparsely furnished interior that suggests a monastic cell. The use of light not only highlights the saint's features and the text but also symbolizes the divine inspiration and enlightenment that comes from his scholarly pursuits.

"Saint Jerome Reading" is part of a larger body of work by La Tour that explores religious themes and the interplay of light and shadow. The painting is admired for its quiet dignity and the way it captures the essence of contemplative life, making it a significant work in the oeuvre of Georges de La Tour and a valuable piece of 17th-century French Baroque art. It is held in high esteem by art historians and critics and is considered an important example of the artist's skill in portraying the spiritual and introspective nature of his subjects.
