"Den Helige Hieronymus" (Saint Jerome) is an oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Lanfranco, created in the early 17th century. The artwork depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian priest, confessor, theologian, and historian, who is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate) and his commentaries on the Gospels. Lanfranco's representation of Saint Jerome is a testament to the artist's mastery of the Baroque style, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, intense emotional expression, and a sense of movement.

In the painting, Saint Jerome is typically shown in a contemplative state, often situated in a rocky and secluded landscape, which reflects his ascetic life. The saint is usually accompanied by iconographic attributes such as a cardinal's hat, indicating his status within the Church, and a lion, referencing the legend of Jerome removing a thorn from a lion's paw, after which the creature became his loyal companion. A skull, symbolizing the contemplation of mortality and penitence, and a crucifix or a stone, representing his penitential practices, are also common elements in depictions of Saint Jerome.

Giovanni Lanfranco (1582–1647) was an influential painter of the Roman school during the Baroque period, who worked on major commissions in Rome, Naples, and Parma. His dynamic compositions and skillful chiaroscuro technique contributed to the development of Baroque art in Italy. "Den Helige Hieronymus" is a reflection of Lanfranco's artistic vision, showcasing his ability to convey spiritual intensity and the inner life of his subjects through a powerful visual language.

The painting is an important work within Lanfranco's oeuvre and Baroque religious art. It serves not only as a representation of a revered saint but also as an example of the period's artistic trends and the spiritual preoccupations of the Counter-Reformation era. "Den Helige Hieronymus" by Giovanni Lanfranco remains an enduring piece of art history, capturing the viewer's attention with its emotional depth and technical prowess.
