St. Jerome by Theodoricus of Prague is a significant work of Gothic art, created during the 14th century. Theodoricus, also known as Master Theodoric, was a prominent Bohemian painter who served as the court painter for Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia. His works are renowned for their detailed and expressive style, which marked a departure from the more rigid and formulaic representations typical of earlier medieval art.

St. Jerome, one of the four Latin Fathers of the Church, is depicted with his traditional attributes, including a cardinal's hat, a lion, and a book, symbolizing his scholarly contributions and his legendary taming of a lion. The painting is part of a larger collection of religious works commissioned by Charles IV for the Chapel of the Holy Cross at Karlštejn Castle, a Gothic fortress near Prague. This collection is notable for its cohesive iconographic program, which aimed to convey the spiritual and political aspirations of the emperor.

Theodoricus's portrayal of St. Jerome is characterized by its vivid colors, intricate details, and a sense of naturalism that was innovative for its time. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of fabrics and the human form, demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of both artistic technique and theological symbolism. The painting reflects the influence of Italian Gothic art, which Theodoricus may have encountered through his travels or through the cultural exchanges facilitated by the cosmopolitan court of Charles IV.

St. Jerome by Theodoricus of Prague is not only a masterpiece of Gothic painting but also a testament to the rich cultural and artistic milieu of 14th-century Bohemia. It remains an important work for the study of medieval art and the history of religious iconography.
