EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St. Bartholomew, a prominent figure from the series Christ, Mary, and the Apostles created between ca. 1590-ca. 1610 by Antonio Tempesta. The artwork belongs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Italy. In this striking image, we see St. Bartholomew depicted in full length, exuding an aura of religious devotion and strength. The etching beautifully captures his stoic expression as he holds a knife in one hand, symbolizing his martyrdom through flaying. Tempesta's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this masterpiece; it flawlessly portrays the texture of skin being peeled away with precision and realism that evokes both awe and discomfort. The composition transports us back to the sixteenth or seventeenth century when religious art held immense significance for people across countries. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and its impact on individuals throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Met, we are reminded not only of St. Bartholomew's sacrifice but also of the artistic genius behind its creation - Nicolaus van Aelst collaborated with Tempesta on this particular work. This print is more than just an image; it represents centuries-old traditions merging with contemporary appreciation for artistry and spirituality—a testament to human creativity transcending time itself.
