"San Jeronimo" (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 a vivid representation of Saint Jerome, a Christian priest, confessor, theologian, and historian, who is perhaps best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). Ribera, born in 1591 in Játiva, near Valencia, Spain, and later active in Italy, particularly in Naples, was renowned for his dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic feature of the Tenebrist style that he embraced and refined throughout his career.

The painting "San Jeronimo" exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting the human form with a profound sense of realism, emotion, and introspection. Saint Jerome is often portrayed in his study, engaged in his scholarly work, or in the wilderness, reflecting his time spent as a hermit in the Syrian desert. Ribera's interpretation of Saint Jerome emphasizes the saint's penitence and devotion, themes that were common in Counter-Reformation art, which sought to inspire faith through the depiction of religious figures and narratives.

Ribera's work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail, from the textures of skin and hair to the expressive quality of the saint's face, conveying a deep sense of spirituality and contemplation. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth, is particularly effective in "San Jeronimo," highlighting the physical and emotional intensity of the scene.

"San Jeronimo" by Jusepe de Ribera is not only a testament to the artist's skill and sensitivity but also a significant contribution to the Baroque period's exploration of faith, penance, and the human condition. The painting is held in high regard among Ribera's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
