La oficina de San Jerónimo is a book that explores the relationship between painting and literature, paying tribute to the book, narration, reading, and writing. Through its pages, a dialogue is established between pictorial and literary work, beginning with the figure of Saint Jerome as the protagonist. The work transports the reader to the Egyptian desert through the story 'A Passion in the Desert' by Honoré de Balzac, followed by photographs and a space filled with calligraphy and illegible books. Three contemporary Spanish painters coexist with French masters, proclaiming the perennial passion of painting. The ending merges literature and painting with Oscar Wilde and 'The Portrait of Dorian Gray'.
Eduardo Arroyo Rodríguez was a Spanish painter and graphic artist. He was also active as an author and set designer. Arroyo is regarded as one of the most important exponents of politically committed realism.
