"Saint Jerome beside a Pollard Willow" is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1648 during the artist's middle period, which is often characterized by a deep exploration of personal and emotional themes. This work is one of several by Rembrandt that depict Saint Jerome, a Christian scholar and translator best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, known as the Vulgate.

The etching measures 18.1 x 23.3 cm and showcases Rembrandt's mastery of the medium, with its intricate play of light and shadow, and its detailed rendering of textures and natural elements. In this composition, Saint Jerome is portrayed in a contemplative pose, seated beside a pollard willow, a type of tree known for its distinctive, pruned appearance. The setting is likely intended to evoke the wilderness where Jerome spent years as a hermit, reflecting on religious texts and engaging in penitential practices.

Rembrandt's treatment of the subject is notable for its humanistic approach, eschewing grandiosity in favor of a more intimate and personal depiction of the saint. The etching is imbued with a sense of quietude and introspection, qualities that are often associated with Jerome's scholarly and ascetic life. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, further enhances the spiritual and contemplative mood of the piece.

"Saint Jerome beside a Pollard Willow" is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike, and it is considered an exemplary work within Rembrandt's oeuvre of etchings. The piece is part of several major museum collections and has been the subject of scholarly study, contributing to the understanding of Rembrandt's techniques and thematic preoccupations. Its enduring appeal lies in the artist's ability to convey profound spiritual and philosophical ideas through the medium of printmaking, a testament to his genius as both an artist and storyteller.
