EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Saint Bartholomew, 1623" by Italian painter Daniele Crespi. The painting is housed in the Basilica di San Giovanni located in Busto Arsizio, Varese, Lombardy, Italy. In this powerful depiction of Saint Bartholomew, we are confronted with a haunting image that evokes both awe and discomfort. The apostle stands before us holding a knife while his flayed skin drapes over his arm. His intense gaze pierces through the viewer's soul, revealing an unwavering commitment to his faith. Crespi masterfully captures the essence of Saint Bartholomew's martyrdom and devotion to Christianity. Through skillful brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, he conveys the physical pain endured by this revered figure for spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ.
