"Saint Jerome" is a notable work by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the 17th century, this painting is one of several interpretations by Ribera of the Christian hermit and scholar, Saint Jerome. The work is renowned for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the Tenebrist style, which Ribera helped to define alongside his contemporaries, such as Caravaggio.

The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Father of the Latin Church best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), in a moment of penitent reflection or scholarly endeavor. Ribera's portrayal often emphasizes the ascetic and penitential aspects of the saint's life, showing him as an aged, gaunt figure, sometimes in the wilderness or in his study, surrounded by books and the implements of writing or flagellation.

Ribera's mastery of chiaroscuro is evident in "Saint Jerome," where the interplay of light and dark not only models the form but also serves to convey the spiritual intensity and psychological depth of the saint. The precise date of the painting, its current location, and its provenance may vary, as Ribera revisited this theme multiple times throughout his career, resulting in numerous versions of Saint Jerome with slight variations in composition, setting, and mood.

As a significant work of the Spanish Baroque period, "Saint Jerome" by Jusepe de Ribera reflects the religious fervor and the interest in human emotion and realism of the era. The painting is not only a testament to Ribera's skill and influence as an artist but also provides insight into the broader cultural and religious context of 17th-century Europe. Ribera's works, including his depictions of Saint Jerome, are held in high esteem and can be found in various prestigious art collections and museums around the world.
