"San Girolamo" is a notable painting by the Italian artist Agostino Scilla (1629–1700), also known as Agostino Scilla da Messina. Scilla, primarily recognized for his work as a painter and a naturalist, was an influential figure in the Baroque period. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Christian priest, theologian, and historian, who is often portrayed in art for his penitential life in the wilderness and his scholarly contributions, including the translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate).

In "San Girolamo," Scilla presents the saint in a moment of contemplative solitude, a theme common in representations of Jerome. The work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Baroque art, which serves to highlight the emotional intensity and spiritual fervor of the saint. The painting's composition typically shows Jerome accompanied by iconographic elements such as a crucifix, skull, or a lion, referencing various aspects of his life and legend.

As with many of Scilla's works, "San Girolamo" showcases the artist's skill in rendering textures and details, from the saint's weathered skin to the rugged landscape that surrounds him. The painting is a testament to Scilla's ability to combine his scientific interests, particularly in geology and paleontology, with his artistic practice, resulting in works that are both visually compelling and rich in detail.

While the exact date of creation for "San Girolamo" is not well-documented, it is likely to have been produced during the height of Scilla's career, when he was actively engaged in both artistic and scientific communities. The painting is an important piece within Scilla's oeuvre, reflecting the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the 17th century, as well as the personal devotions and interests of the artist himself.

Today, "San Girolamo" is considered a significant example of Baroque religious painting, contributing to the understanding of the period's artistic expressions of faith and the interplay between art and science during the age of the Scientific Revolution. The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its condition are factors that would further contribute to its historical and artistic significance, but such details require additional research to provide a comprehensive account of the work's journey through time.
