The work depicts Saint Jerome, who in the 5th century was one of the world's greatest scholars of Hebrew, Latin, and Greek languages. He translated a significant portion of the Bible into Latin, commissioned by Pope Damasus I. Hence, the traditional way to represent this Saint is always writing or reading, another one of the most famous paintings on this theme is Saint Jerome Writing by Caravaggio.
