"San Gerolamo" or "Saint Jerome Writing" is a celebrated oil painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created circa 1605-1606. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and one of the four great Doctors of the Church, engaged in the intellectual pursuit of translating the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate. This work is one of several versions of the subject painted by Caravaggio, and it is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the intense psychological realism that characterizes the artist's mature period.

The painting is notable for its stark contrasts of light and shadow, which serve to highlight the physical and spiritual intensity of Saint Jerome as he works. The saint is portrayed as an elderly, yet vigorous man, his face illuminated by a shaft of light that draws the viewer's attention to his furrowed brow and the concentration in his eyes. The composition is intimate and focused, with Jerome's strong hands carefully positioned on a sheet of paper, suggesting the weight of his task.

Caravaggio's "San Gerolamo" is a masterful representation of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and religious devotion. The artist's ability to capture the inner life of his subject through naturalistic detail and emotional resonance has made this painting a powerful example of Baroque art. The work is held in high esteem for its artistic and historical significance, reflecting Caravaggio's profound influence on the development of European painting.

The painting has a storied provenance and has been held in various private and public collections over the centuries. Today, "San Gerolamo" is housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and visitors alike. Its enduring appeal lies in Caravaggio's skillful rendering of the human condition and his innovative approach to light, which has left an indelible mark on the history of art.
