"Saint Bartholomew: A Timeless Icon of Faith and Sacrifice" Throughout the centuries, the image of Saint Bartholomew has been immortalized in various artistic masterpieces. From Giovanni Lanfranco's "Madonna and Child with St. Charles Borromeo and St. Bartholomew" to Garpar De Craeyer's "Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew, " this apostle continues to captivate viewers with his story. In Pontichino della Sale's painting, we see Saint John the Evangelist standing alongside Saint Bartholomew, accompanied by a member of Pontichino's own family. The artist skillfully portrays their devotion and unity. The 14th-century tempera on wood artwork simply titled "Saint Bartholomew" showcases the saint's serene expression as he holds a knife, symbolizing his martyrdom. This piece serves as a reminder of his unwavering faith even in the face of persecution. In another depiction from the 17th century, an oil-on-canvas painting called "Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew, " we witness the brutal scene where he was flayed alive for spreading Christianity, and is through these powerful images that we are reminded of his sacrifice for his beliefs. One particularly striking portrayal is found in the triptych by an unknown artist known as "Triptych of Saint Giovenale. " Painted in 1422 using tempera on wood, it depicts scenes from different stages of Saint Bartholomew's life, showcasing him as both a disciple and martyr. From engravings to oil paintings, each artwork captures different aspects of this revered figure’s life and legacy. Whether it be S Laurence’s Augustine or Hippo’s engraving featuring St. Bartholomew or even Madonna herself being depicted alongside him – all emphasize his importance within Christian iconography.
