"St. Jerome Praying" is a painting by the Early Netherlandish master Hieronymus Bosch, believed to have been completed late in his career, around 1505. This work of art is a small panel painting, executed in oil on wood, and it depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and one of the four Latin Doctors of the Church, in a moment of solitary prayer in the wilderness. The painting is currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium.

The composition of "St. Jerome Praying" is typical of Bosch's approach to religious subjects, where he combines elements of the real and the surreal to create a vivid, contemplative scene. The saint is shown kneeling in a rocky landscape, his hands clasped in prayer, with a crucifix and a skull, symbols of penitence and mortality, placed before him. The landscape itself is barren and otherworldly, with fantastical rock formations and a distant fire, possibly alluding to the torments of hell or the saint's inner spiritual battles.

Bosch's portrayal of St. Jerome is notable for its emotional intensity and the meticulous attention to detail, characteristics that are emblematic of the artist's style. The saint's ascetic face and the stark, haunting environment serve to emphasize the theme of spiritual reflection and the Christian virtue of withdrawal from worldly temptations.

The painting is part of a series of works by Bosch that depict hermit saints, which includes other notable figures such as St. Anthony and St. Giles. These works reflect the cultural and religious preoccupations of Bosch's time, particularly the emphasis on personal piety and the contemplation of the divine.

"St. Jerome Praying" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and interpretation, with experts examining its iconography, stylistic elements, and place within Bosch's oeuvre. The painting's provenance and historical context have also been explored, contributing to a deeper understanding of its significance and the enduring legacy of Hieronymus Bosch as a master of Northern Renaissance art.
