Saint Jerome is an oil-on-canvas painting by Dutch artist Matthias Stom. It was completed c. 1635 and is now in the Musee des Beaux Arts de Nantes, France, which bought it in 1810.[1] Painted in a tenebrist style, it depicts Saint Jerome at a table in a darkened space. Before him there are a Bible, a rosary, a crucifix, and a skull. Jerome gazes in the direction of light which falls from the upper left.

The dimensions of the painting are 117 cm x 98 cm (46 in. x 38.5 in).
