"The Vision of St Jerome" is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Orazio Borgianni, created circa 1617–20. The artwork is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and its spiritual intensity, both hallmarks of the Baroque era. The painting depicts St. Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, experiencing a divine vision. Borgianni's portrayal of St. Jerome is characterized by a strong emotional resonance, as the saint is shown in a moment of ecstatic revelation, which was a common theme in Counter-Reformation art aimed at inspiring piety and devotion among viewers.

Orazio Borgianni (1574–1616) was an Italian painter and etcher of the early Baroque period, born in Rome to a family of Tuscan origin. He was influenced by the works of Caravaggio and his followers, which is evident in his use of dramatic lighting and realistic depiction of figures. Borgianni's "The Vision of St Jerome" is a prime example of his mastery of light and shadow to create a powerful religious narrative.

The painting is notable for its rich color palette, the detailed rendering of textures, and the dynamic composition that guides the viewer's eye to the central figure of St. Jerome. The saint is typically shown with a lion, referencing the legend of Jerome removing a thorn from a lion's paw, and in this painting, Borgianni includes this attribute to signify the saint's identity. The artwork captures the moment of spiritual ecstasy, with St. Jerome's gaze turned heavenward, his body enveloped in a mystical light that seems to emanate from the divine vision itself.

"The Vision of St Jerome" is housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Rome, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Borgianni's work contributes to our understanding of the visual culture of the Counter-Reformation and the development of Baroque art in Rome. The painting remains an important piece for scholars interested in the religious iconography of the period, as well as for those who appreciate the emotive and technical skill of Baroque painters like Borgianni.
