San Girolamo, also known as Saint Jerome, is a distinguished painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, more commonly known as Guercino. Created in 1630, this artwork exemplifies Guercino's mastery in the use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey deep emotional intensity through his subjects. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, one of the most important scholars of the early Christian Church, renowned for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate).

In this composition, Guercino portrays Saint Jerome in a moment of introspection and scholarly endeavor. The saint is typically shown as an elderly man with a long beard, often accompanied by symbols such as a skull, a lion, and a Bible, which are all present in this work. The skull symbolizes mortality, the lion references the legend of Saint Jerome taming a lion by removing a thorn from its paw, and the Bible signifies his monumental contribution to Christian theology.

Guercino's use of light and shadow in San Girolamo is particularly noteworthy. The dramatic illumination focuses on the saint's face and hands, drawing the viewer's attention to his intense expression and the act of writing or contemplation. This technique not only highlights the physical details but also enhances the spiritual and intellectual aura surrounding the figure of Saint Jerome.

The painting is a testament to Guercino's ability to blend naturalism with a heightened sense of drama, a hallmark of the Baroque style. His skillful brushwork and the rich, warm palette contribute to the overall sense of depth and realism. San Girolamo is housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
