EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful and deeply moving 17th century print depicts the Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew, a revered figure in Christian history and one of the twelve apostles. The image, created by an unknown artist, is a masterful work of black chalk, black ink, and brown ink with brush and brown wash over touches of lead white, discolored on ivory laid paper laid down on ivory laid card. The scene unfolds with Saint Bartholomew, a strong and stoic male figure, standing before an audience of onlookers. His body is bare, save for a loincloth, as he is being flayed alive – a gruesome and painful punishment for his unwavering faith. The artist expertly captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, with the saint's expression one of peace and acceptance, despite the agony of his suffering. The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural and historical heritage of Christianity, and the unwavering commitment of its followers to their beliefs. This powerful work of art, with its intricate details and masterful use of contrast, is a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection. This print is currently on exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art center and gallery that houses an extensive collection of historic and contemporary art from around the world. The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the human spirit.
