Attribute Chain Knife Saint Barthelemy Apostle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "St. Bartholomew" painted by the renowned artist Greco in 1606. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 97x77 cm and is currently housed at the Casa y Museo del Greco in Toledo, Spain. The painting depicts St. Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, who was martyred for his faith. With a flowing beard and intense gaze, he holds a knife as an attribute symbolizing his gruesome fate - being flayed alive. Intriguingly, the artwork also portrays a chained demon lurking behind St. Bartholomew, representing the spiritual battle between good and evil that he faced throughout his life. Greco's masterful brushstrokes bring to life the saint's courage and unwavering devotion amidst unimaginable suffering. The vibrant colors and dramatic lighting create a sense of depth and emotion that captivates viewers. This stunning image captures not only the artistic brilliance of Greco but also pays homage to St. Bartholomew's enduring legacy as an exemplar of martyrdom and faith.
