"Saint Jerome in His Study" is a painting attributed to Hendrick van Steenwyck the Younger, a prominent Flemish painter known for his architectural sub-genres in the late 16th to mid 17th century. Influenced by the Dutch Golden Age, Steenwyck the Younger often depicted church interiors, chambers in castles, and cellars in his works.

"Saint Jerome in His Study," typically dated to the early 17th century, is a notable of Steenwyck's unique artistry which encompasses craftsmanship in perspective and lighting. The painting features Saint Jerome, a revered Christian priest, theologian, and historian, in a cozy, book-filled study, denoting his scholarly life. The portrayal of Saint Jerome, known for translating the Bible into Latin, the 'Vulgate', is associated with a tradition of portraying scholars and saints in their studies, a theme common during Renaissance.

Particular attention is given to the spatial arrangement in this work: the room is meticulously detailed with arches, columns, a vaulted ceiling, and rows of books. Light streams in from high windows on one side, casting long shadows and scattering patches of brightness and darkness around the room.

As in his other works, Steenwyck carefully used linear perspective, allowing the architectural elements of the room to lead the viewer's eye towards the saint at the center. Despite the large and elaborate setting, the figure of Saint Jerome bent over his work provides an intimate and contemplative mood to the painting.

The painting stands as a masterful display of Steenwyck's exceptional skills of depicting light, depth, and detail, contributing significantly to his status as an important figure in architectural painting during the Flemish Baroque period. "Saint Jerome in His Study" continues to be admired for its successful rendering of a peaceful, scholarly solitude and Steenwyck's deft execution of complex architectural elements.
