St Bartholomew. Plate 5. From: Christ and the Apostles, c.1545. Creator: Lambert Suavius
St Bartholomew. Plate 5. From: Christ and the Apostles, c.1545. This is one of the most vivid prints in the series: apprehension is evident in Bartholomew's pose - has he detected an enemy or vice versa? In his left hand, he carries a large knife: this alludes to his grisly martyrdom, in which he was skinned alive

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking print from Christ and the Apostles (c.1545), Lambert Suavius masterfully captures the intensity of St Bartholomew's gaze as he stands with a large knife in hand, alluding to his gruesome martyrdom. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and apprehension, leaving us wondering if Bartholomew has detected an enemy or vice versa. Suavius' attention to detail is evident in the apostle's beard and facial hair, which adds depth and character to this powerful portrait. This print not only showcases Suavius' skill as an engraver but also provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by early Christian martyrs like Bartholomew. As part of Christ and the Apostles series, this image is just one example of how art can be used to tell stories about faith, sacrifice, and devotion.
