"Vault of the Doctors of the Church: St. Jerome" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, created approximately between 1290 and 1295. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the vaults of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, which is considered one of the most important masterpieces of Western art. The series depicts the four great Doctors of the Church—Saints Gregory, Ambrose, Augustine, and Jerome—each of whom played a significant role in the development of early Christian theology and doctrine.

The fresco of St. Jerome is particularly notable for its depiction of the saint, who was a priest, confessor, theologian, and historian, and is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. Giotto's portrayal of St. Jerome in this fresco is emblematic of the artist's innovative approach to painting, which broke away from the stylized forms of Byzantine art and introduced a more naturalistic style that would come to define the Renaissance.

In the fresco, St. Jerome is typically shown in a study-like setting, reflecting his scholarly pursuits, with attention to the spatial environment and the use of light to create a sense of volume and depth. Giotto's work on the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, including the "Vault of the Doctors of the Church: St. Jerome," is celebrated for its emotional expressiveness and the humanization of sacred figures, which was a departure from the more abstract and idealized representations of the time.

The Scrovegni Chapel, also known as the Arena Chapel due to its proximity to an ancient Roman arena, was commissioned by the wealthy banker Enrico Scrovegni and is adorned with a cycle of frescoes by Giotto that cover the entire interior. The "Vault of the Doctors of the Church: St. Jerome" is an integral part of this cycle, contributing to the overall narrative and theological program of the chapel, which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the life of Christ.

As one of the earliest and most influential works of the Italian Renaissance, Giotto's frescoes, including the depiction of St. Jerome, have been extensively studied and admired for their artistic innovation and impact on the development of Western art. The Scrovegni Chapel and its frescoes were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021, further cementing the significance of Giotto's work in the canon of art history.
