"Saint Jerome" is a notable painting by the Northern Renaissance artist Joos van Cleve, a prominent figure in the Antwerp school of the early 16th century. This artwork is a quintessential example of van Cleve's adeptness in combining the detailed realism characteristic of Netherlandish painting with Italianate influences that were becoming increasingly popular during his time. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate.

In the painting, Saint Jerome is typically shown in his study, surrounded by the attributes that identify him as a scholar and a penitent hermit. These often include books, a skull, and a lion, referencing his scholarly pursuits, contemplation of mortality, and legendary taming of a lion, respectively. Van Cleve's rendition of Saint Jerome is distinguished by its meticulous attention to texture and detail, from the fur of the lion to the saint's wrinkled skin, conveying a sense of piety and intellectual rigor.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the period of van Cleve's artistic maturity, likely in the 1520s or 1530s. "Saint Jerome" exemplifies the synthesis of Gothic tradition with the emerging Renaissance sensibilities, a hallmark of van Cleve's oeuvre. The painting's current location is not consistently documented in public records, and its provenance may provide insights into the circulation of Northern Renaissance artworks and the influence of van Cleve's style across Europe.

Joos van Cleve's "Saint Jerome" is an important work for understanding the transition in European art from the medieval period to the Renaissance, as well as the cross-cultural artistic exchanges that defined this transformative era. Its study offers art historians and enthusiasts a window into the devotional and intellectual life of the period, as well as the stylistic developments that characterized the Northern Renaissance.
