"Saint Jerome", Caravaggio

About the Artwork

Saint Jerome Writing is Caravaggio’s portrayal, through traditional iconography, of a Doctor of the Catholic Church, and later saint, known for his influential translation of the Bible. In customary fashion, Caravaggio shows Jerome poring over his books in what is likely his study. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Doctor of the Church in Roman Catholicism, engrossed in scholarly reflection. His wrinkled skin and intense gaze reveal a lifetime of devotion to his work. Jerome’s thin frame is juxtaposed against the dark background, emphasizing his solitude. The human skull on the table serves as a memento mori, a reminder of mortality and the impermanence of worldly pursuits.
