"St. Jerome Reading in the Countryside" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, created around 1505. This artwork is a representation of Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, which became known as the Vulgate. The painting is an oil on panel and measures approximately 47 cm x 34 cm. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

In this serene composition, Bellini depicts St. Jerome in a moment of quiet contemplation, set against a lush and idyllic landscape that reflects the artist's mastery of color and light. The saint is portrayed as a hermit, seated with a book in his lap, symbolizing his scholarly pursuits. The landscape, with its detailed foliage and distant blue mountains, exemplifies the Venetian love of nature and the emerging Renaissance interest in realistic portrayal of the natural world.

The painting is notable for its devotional quality and the sense of peace it conveys. Bellini's work is characterized by its meditative atmosphere and the harmonious integration of the figure within the landscape. "St. Jerome Reading in the Countryside" is a fine example of Bellini's late style, where he combines the religious subject matter with a poetic rendering of the environment, showcasing his continued innovation and influence on the Venetian school of painting.

This piece is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the cultural and religious context of the time. St. Jerome was a popular subject for Renaissance artists, and Bellini's interpretation contributes to the rich tapestry of visual representations of this important Church Father. The painting invites viewers to engage with the themes of nature, spirituality, and learning, which were central to the Renaissance worldview.
