San Girolamo Penitente, also known as Saint Jerome in Penitence, is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Pietro Paolo Bonzi, who is often referred to by his nickname, "Il Gobbo dei Carracci." Bonzi, active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, was a prominent figure within the Caravaggisti movement, which was heavily influenced by the dramatic chiaroscuro and naturalism pioneered by Caravaggio. This particular work exemplifies Bonzi's adeptness at capturing the intense emotional and spiritual experiences of his subjects.

The painting depicts Saint Jerome, one of the most important Doctors of the Church, known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). In this representation, Saint Jerome is shown in a moment of deep penitence and reflection, a common theme in Baroque art that sought to evoke piety and introspection among viewers. The saint is often portrayed in a rugged, ascetic environment, emphasizing his withdrawal from worldly pleasures and his dedication to spiritual contemplation.

Bonzi's use of light and shadow in San Girolamo Penitente is particularly striking, highlighting the saint's gaunt features and the sinewy texture of his aged skin. The dramatic lighting not only enhances the physical realism of the figure but also serves to underscore the emotional gravity of the scene. The background is typically sparse, directing the viewer's focus entirely on the saint's expressive face and the symbols of his penance, such as the skull, the crucifix, and the Bible.

San Girolamo Penitente is a testament to Bonzi's skill in rendering human emotion and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. The painting remains an important example of Baroque religious art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
