"Saint Jerome in Meditation" is an oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Lionello Spada, dating from the 1610s. The work depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and one of the four great Doctors of the Church, in a moment of contemplation or meditation. Spada, a follower of Caravaggio, was known for his use of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting, which is evident in this painting.

The painting portrays Saint Jerome seated in a darkened interior, illuminated by a soft light that highlights his intense focus and the textures of his surroundings. Jerome is traditionally shown with a lion, referencing the legend that he removed a thorn from a lion's paw, and in this work, the lion is often depicted at his side, although it is not the central focus of the composition. Instead, Spada emphasizes the saint's intellectual and spiritual engagement, as he is often shown with a book or a skull, symbolizing his scholarly pursuits and the contemplation of mortality, respectively.

"Saint Jerome in Meditation" is a testament to Spada's skill in capturing the emotional and spiritual depth of religious figures, as well as his mastery of the tenebrist style, which uses stark contrasts between light and shadow to create a dramatic effect. The painting is a significant example of the Counter-Reformation art that sought to inspire piety and devotion through powerful visual narratives. While the exact location of the original painting is not specified in this introduction, works by Lionello Spada can be found in various art collections, including those of prominent museums and churches in Italy and beyond.
