"Hl. Hieronymus," also known as "Saint Jerome," is a significant work by the Spanish Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera, who was active during the early 17th century. Ribera, born in 1591 in Játiva, Spain, is renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic depictions of human figures, often imbued with intense emotional depth. This painting is a testament to Ribera's mastery in portraying religious subjects with a profound sense of realism and psychological insight.

The painting depicts Saint Jerome, one of the most important scholars and translators of the early Christian Church, best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. Ribera's portrayal of Saint Jerome is marked by a striking realism and a deep sense of piety. The saint is often shown in a contemplative pose, immersed in his scholarly work, with the traditional attributes of a skull, a crucifix, and a book, symbolizing his penitence, faith, and scholarly pursuits, respectively.

Ribera's use of light and shadow in "Hl. Hieronymus" is particularly noteworthy. The dramatic lighting, a hallmark of the Baroque style, highlights the saint's ascetic features and the textures of his aged skin and worn garments, creating a powerful visual impact. The somber palette and the meticulous attention to detail further enhance the painting's emotional intensity and spiritual gravitas.

This work reflects Ribera's deep engagement with the themes of human suffering, redemption, and the divine, common in his oeuvre. It also exemplifies the influence of Caravaggio on Ribera's style, particularly in the use of tenebrism and the focus on naturalism. "Hl. Hieronymus" stands as a remarkable example of Ribera's ability to convey complex theological concepts through compelling visual narratives, making it a significant piece in the study of Baroque religious art.
