"The Penance of St. Jerome" is a notable painting by the Early Renaissance Italian artist Piero della Francesca, dated to around 1450. This work is an exemplar of Piero's meticulous attention to both human figures and perspective, which were groundbreaking during the Renaissance period. The painting depicts St. Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator of the Bible, performing an act of penance in the wilderness, a common theme in Christian art that emphasizes piety and repentance.

In this piece, St. Jerome is typically shown striking his chest with a stone, a gesture of penitence, while a lion, which according to legend he removed a thorn from its paw, accompanies him. The setting is serene and contemplative, with the landscape and architectural elements rendered in precise linear perspective, a technique that Piero della Francesca was particularly skilled in and helped to develop further during the Renaissance.

The painting is executed in oil on panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular at the time due to its versatility and durability compared to the more traditional egg tempera. Piero's use of oil paint allowed for a greater range of colors and subtleties in shading, which is evident in the realistic depiction of the natural elements and the human form in "The Penance of St. Jerome."

As with many of Piero's works, this painting is celebrated for its calm and ordered composition, and its use of light and shadow to create a sense of volume and space. The exact location of the original painting is currently not specified in available resources, and its provenance has been a subject of art historical research.

"The Penance of St. Jerome" is an important work within Piero della Francesca's oeuvre and contributes significantly to the understanding of the development of perspective and the evolution of Renaissance art. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of 15th-century Italian painting.
