David Teniers the Younger's "A Landscape with Saint Jerome Outside a Grotto" depicts the biblical figure of Saint Jerome in a naturalistic setting. Known for his detailed landscapes and masterful depiction of light, Teniers showcases Jerome, a renowned theologian and translator, amidst a rocky landscape, his red robes and white beard catching the light. A lion, traditionally associated with Jerome, lies at his feet. The scene evokes the serenity and solitude of Jerome's life as a hermit.
