EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 16th century and behold the hauntingly beautiful depiction of Saint Bartholomew's martyrdom in this stunning print. Painted in Ravenna, Italy, during the Baroque era, this masterpiece showcases the artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro and dramatic lighting to convey the intensity of the scene.
The apostle Bartholomew is shown being flayed alive by a group of executioners, his skin peeled away from his body as he gazes up towards heaven with a look of serene devotion. The gruesome torture is juxtaposed with an aura of calmness and acceptance on Bartholomew's face, highlighting his unwavering faith in Christ.
This powerful image serves as a testament to Christianity's rich history and its enduring influence on European art. The painting is believed to have been created by an anonymous artist from Emilia-Romagna, showcasing the region's unique style and attention to detail.
As we gaze upon this poignant scene, we are reminded that even in times of great suffering, faith can bring solace and strength. This remarkable piece not only tells a story but also invites us to reflect on our own values and beliefs.
