"Saint Jerome Writing," also known as "St. Jerome in His Study" or "St. Jerome," is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, executed in 1607 or 1608. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Doctor of the Church and the translator of the Bible into Latin, in the act of writing. This work is one of several paintings by Caravaggio that portray the saint in moments of contemplation or intellectual endeavor.

The painting is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the intense focus on the saint's concentration. Caravaggio's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the way the light falls on Jerome's wrinkled forehead, the folds of his red garment, and the papers and books that surround him, creating a sense of depth and volume. The composition is intimate, with St. Jerome's face conveying a sense of solemnity and dedication to his scholarly work.

"Saint Jerome Writing" is a prime example of Caravaggio's ability to combine realism with a profound psychological insight. The saint is depicted as an elderly man, his skin marked by time, yet his gaze is intent, reflecting his intellectual vigor and spiritual commitment. The painting's somber tones and the stark contrast between light and dark areas enhance the mood of meditation and the theme of devotion to scholarly and religious pursuits.

This work is part of Caravaggio's mature period, during which he created some of his most celebrated paintings. "Saint Jerome Writing" has been held in various collections over the centuries and has been subject to scholarly debate regarding its attribution and dating. It is currently housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance.
