by Jusepe de Ribera, 1634
Jusepe de Ribera painted The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew in 1634, depicting the apostle's horrific death by flaying. The executioners strain to lift the saint's body while he looks heavenward, his expression combining agony and spiritual transcendence.
Ribera, a Spanish painter working in Naples, became famous for his dark, intense religious paintings influenced by Caravaggio. His unflinching realism shocked some viewers but also drew admiration for its emotional power. This Baroque masterwork hangs at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
