"St. Jerome in His Study" is an oil painting on canvas by the Early Netherlandish artist Jan van Eyck, dated to 1442. This artwork presents St. Jerome, a Christian priest, theologian, and historian, in a meticulously detailed interior filled with symbolic objects.

Van Eyck's painting collectively embodies Renaissance iconography and attention to detail, presenting Jerome, not in his typical wilderness setting, but ensconced within an architecturally complex, elegantly furnished 15th century study. The scene is filled with elements suggesting St. Jerome's cardinal attributes — the lion, the red hat and cloak of a cardinal, the crucifix, the skull, and the books reflecting his scholarly pursuits.

The painting's particular strength lies in Van Eyck's skill in manipulating light and texture to render various materials with stunning realism. Each element, from the glowing stained glass windows to the lion’s fur and Jerome’s own wrinkled flesh, is depicted with an equal level of refined detail.

"St. Jerome in His Study" ensues Jan van Eyck's mastery over linear perspective, developed fully during the Renaissance, as witnessed in the clever arrangement of the tiles that lead the viewer's eyes through the intriguing depth volumes in the painting.

Despite its historical attribution to Van Eyck and the predominant stylistic similarities to his known works, there isn't unanimous agreement among art historians regarding the authorship of the painting due to its late discovery and unique subject matter.

The painting is currently held by the Detroit Institute of Arts, contributing significantly to their collection of European art and providing an essential representation of early Netherlandish painting in America.
