"St. Paul in Prison" (also known as "St. Paul at His Writing Desk") is a 1627 oil on canvas painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. The artwork, measuring 72.2 cm by 60.3 cm, is part of the collection at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart in Germany. This painting is one of Rembrandt's early works, created when he was just 21 years old, and it depicts the Apostle Paul, a pivotal figure in early Christianity, during one of his imprisonments.

The painting is notable for its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that Rembrandt would become renowned for, which involves the dramatic use of light and shadow to create depth and volume. In "St. Paul in Prison," the apostle is shown in a contemplative state, surrounded by the darkness of his cell, with a beam of light illuminating his face and the papers on his desk, suggesting divine inspiration or revelation.

Rembrandt's portrayal of St. Paul is rich with symbolic elements. The apostle is depicted with a book and a quill, referencing his contributions to the New Testament through his epistles. The sword, which is often associated with St. Paul, alludes to both the manner of his martyrdom and the "Sword of the Spirit," a metaphor for the word of God mentioned in the Epistle to the Ephesians, which is traditionally attributed to Paul.

"St. Paul in Prison" reflects Rembrandt's skill in capturing the psychological intensity of his subjects, a characteristic that would define his artistic oeuvre. The painting is an early indication of the artist's interest in biblical themes and his ability to convey complex human emotions and spirituality through his work. As such, it holds a significant place in the study of Rembrandt's development as a painter and his impact on the Baroque period of art.
