San Gerolamo, also known as Saint Jerome, is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Polidoro da Caravaggio, whose real name was Polidoro Caldara. Born around 1499 in Caravaggio, Lombardy, Polidoro was a distinguished painter of the High Renaissance, known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his adeptness in both fresco and panel painting. Although he initially trained under Raphael, Polidoro developed a unique style that set him apart from his contemporaries.

The painting of San Gerolamo depicts Saint Jerome, one of the four great Latin Fathers of the Church, who is often portrayed in Christian art as a penitent hermit, a scholar, or a translator of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). In this work, Polidoro captures the saint in a moment of deep contemplation, emphasizing his ascetic lifestyle and scholarly pursuits. The composition typically includes traditional iconographic elements such as a skull, a crucifix, and a lion, which are symbolic of Jerome's penitence, faith, and the legend of his taming a lion by removing a thorn from its paw.

Polidoro's treatment of the subject is marked by a profound sense of realism and emotional depth. His use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, creating a powerful sense of presence. The painting reflects Polidoro's mastery in rendering human anatomy and his ability to convey complex psychological states through facial expressions and body language.

San Gerolamo is an exemplary work that showcases Polidoro da Caravaggio's skill in blending the spiritual and the humanistic, a hallmark of Renaissance art. The painting not only serves as a devotional image but also as a testament to the artist's innovative approach to religious themes.
