"Saint Jerome, Saint Augustin, Saint Ambroise, Saint-Jean-Chrysostome" is a fresco by the French painter Hippolyte Flandrin, created as part of his decorative work for the church of Saint Germain-des-Prés in Paris. The fresco is one of several that adorn the church's interior and is notable for its depiction of four of the most influential Fathers of the Western Church, each recognized for their theological contributions and sanctity in Christian tradition.

Hippolyte Flandrin (1809–1864) was a 19th-century French painter known for his neoclassical style and religious works. A student of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Flandrin won the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1832, which allowed him to study in Rome, where he was particularly influenced by the works of Renaissance masters. His time in Italy had a lasting impact on his artistic approach, which is reflected in the fresco under discussion.

The fresco features, from left to right, Saint Jerome (c. 347–420), a priest, confessor, theologian, and historian; Saint Augustine (354–430), the Bishop of Hippo and a philosopher whose writings influenced Western Christianity and philosophy; Saint Ambrose (c. 340–397), the Bishop of Milan and one of the most influential ecclesiastical figures of the 4th century; and Saint John Chrysostom (c. 349–407), the Archbishop of Constantinople, known for his eloquent preaching and public speaking, earning him the epithet Chrysostom, which means "golden-mouthed."

Flandrin's fresco is a testament to the neoclassical movement's emphasis on clarity, order, and harmony, as well as its inspiration from antiquity. The work is characterized by its serene composition, subdued color palette, and the dignified portrayal of the saints, each absorbed in contemplation or scholarly activity, reflecting their intellectual and spiritual contributions to the church. The fresco is an example of Flandrin's mastery in creating devotional art that is both reflective and instructive, intended to elevate the minds and hearts of the faithful.

The church of Saint Germain-des-Prés, where the fresco is located, is one of the oldest churches in Paris and has been an important site of Christian worship since the 6th century. Flandrin's work in the church is considered a significant contribution to French religious art and continues to be admired for its beauty and spiritual depth.
