"Saint Jerome" is a renowned painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the early 17th century, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in the use of chiaroscuro and his profound ability to convey intense emotional and spiritual states. Ribera, who spent much of his career in Naples, was heavily influenced by the dramatic realism of Caravaggio, and this influence is evident in "Saint Jerome."

The painting depicts Saint Jerome, one of the four great Latin Fathers of the Church, who is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). Ribera often chose religious subjects that allowed him to explore themes of human suffering, penitence, and divine revelation. In "Saint Jerome," the saint is typically shown as an ascetic, elderly man, deeply engrossed in his scholarly work. His gaunt, sinewy body and the rugged textures of his skin and beard are rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting Ribera's skill in portraying the human form.

The composition is stark and dramatic, with Saint Jerome illuminated by a strong, focused light that creates deep shadows and accentuates the textures of his skin and the folds of his robes. This use of light not only enhances the realism of the scene but also imbues it with a spiritual intensity, suggesting the divine inspiration behind Jerome's scholarly endeavors. The background is kept dark and unobtrusive, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains firmly on the saint.

Ribera's "Saint Jerome" is celebrated for its powerful realism and emotional depth. It captures the essence of the saint's solitary devotion and intellectual rigor, making it a significant work in the artist's oeuvre and a notable example of Baroque religious art. The painting is housed in various collections, with notable versions in the Museo del Prado in Madrid and the National Gallery in London, each contributing to the enduring legacy of Ribera's artistic achievements.
