==Legacy==
In 15th century Venice, a church was founded and dedicated to Saint Jerome, though later it was rededicated to the visit of Elizabeth by Mary the mother of Jesus, and so became known as Santa Maria della Visitazione.
In circa 1480, Leonardo da Vinci painted St. Jerome in the Wilderness, what remained an unfinished depiction of Saint Jerome during his retreat into the Syrian desert.Assassin's Creed IIAssassin's Creed: Brotherhood
In 1609, the Spanish artist painted a rendition of the saint as a scholar, rather than his usual portrayal as a ascetic. During the Golden Age of Piracy, the Welsh pirate Edward Kenway acquired said painting of Saint Jerome as a cardinal, an unusual rendering of him as a scholar rather than an ascetic.
