"Saint Jerome" is a notable oil painting by Matthias Stom (also known as Matthias Stomer), a Dutch painter who was active during the early to mid-17th century and was associated with the Utrecht Caravaggisti, a group of artists influenced by the style of the Italian painter Caravaggio. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, which became known as the Vulgate.

In this work, Stom illustrates Saint Jerome in a moment of contemplation or penitence, a common theme in Baroque art. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and to direct the viewer's attention to the focal point of the composition. Stom's rendition of Saint Jerome often showcases the saint in a dimly lit interior, engaged in scholarly work or in a state of divine inspiration or introspection.

The exact date of creation for "Saint Jerome" by Matthias Stom is not well-documented, and the painting's provenance has not been thoroughly established, which is not uncommon for works from this period. However, Stom's paintings are generally dated to the period when he was most active, between the 1620s and the 1650s. The painting is an example of Stom's skillful adaptation of Caravaggio's tenebrism and his ability to convey complex emotional states through his subjects.

"Saint Jerome" by Matthias Stomer is an important work within the oeuvre of the artist and contributes to the understanding of the diffusion of Caravaggism throughout Europe. It is also significant in the study of religious iconography in Baroque art, as it reflects the era's emphasis on personal piety and the introspective nature of religious figures. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a fine example of Northern European Caravaggism, demonstrating the international influence of Italian Baroque art during the 17th century.
