EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew; The Conversion of Saint Paul," is a masterpiece by the renowned 16th-century Italian artist, Jacopo Palma, also known as Jacopo Palma il Giovane or Jacopo Negretti. The artwork, created between 1590 and 1595, is a stunning example of the High Renaissance period's artistic achievements. The print depicts two distinct scenes. On the left, Saint Bartholomew, an apostle and one of the twelve disciples, is shown being martyred. He is depicted with his skin flayed off, holding a knife in one hand and a palm leaf, symbolizing martyrdom, in the other. The scene is filled with chaos and violence, with figures fleeing and soldiers in the background. On the right, the conversion of Saint Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, takes place. Paul, who would later become a central figure in Christianity, is depicted in the midst of his Damascene conversion, with a bright light illuminating the scene. He is shown falling off his horse, struck blind by the light, and being approached by Saint Ananias. The print is a beautiful example of Palma's skill with pen and brown ink with brown wash. The intricate details and shading bring the figures and scenes to life, transporting the viewer to another time and place. The print is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of the Christian faith on European culture. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, religious art, or the history of Western civilization.
