Saint Jerome Father of Biblical Scholarship Poster

A scholarly and spiritually resonant portrayal of Saint Jerome (c.342–420), the Dalmatian‑born priest, monk, and Doctor of the Church whose work shaped the entire Western Christian tradition. According to Wikipedia, Jerome was born in Stridon, educated in Rome, and became one of the most learned men of his age, mastering Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Britannica highlights that he is best known for producing the Vulgate, the authoritative Latin translation of the Bible, completed during his years in Bethlehem, where he lived as a monk and exegete. His iconography often includes a lion, recalling the legend of Jerome removing a thorn from its paw; a skull, symbolizing contemplation of mortality; and books or writing tools, representing his lifelong devotion to Scripture. Wikipedia notes that he is venerated across Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran traditions, with his feast celebrated on 30 September. Ideal for sacred art prints, educational materials, theological publications, and designs celebrating biblical scholarship and monastic wisdom.
