"Saint Jerome" is a notable painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Gerard Seghers, created in the early 17th century. Seghers, a student of Abraham Janssens and later influenced by the works of Caravaggio, was known for his religious and still-life paintings. This particular artwork depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator who is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate.

In the painting, Saint Jerome is typically portrayed in a contemplative state, often within a dark, atmospheric setting that reflects Caravaggist influences in its dramatic use of chiaroscuro. The saint is frequently shown with a lion, referencing the legend of Jerome removing a thorn from a lion's paw, and with a skull and a crucifix, symbolizing his meditations on mortality and Christ's sacrifice.

Gerard Seghers' "Saint Jerome" is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious figures and narratives. The painting's exact dimensions, current location, and provenance may vary, as Seghers produced multiple works with Saint Jerome as the subject. However, each version serves as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the spiritual intensity and penitent character of the saint.

The artwork is an important piece within Seghers' oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art in the Southern Netherlands. It reflects the period's artistic trends, including the influence of Italian masters and the Northern European adaptation of those styles, which Seghers helped to propagate through his work and his role as a teacher to subsequent generations of artists.
