EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lucas van Leyden's exquisite engraving of St Bartholomew, created around 1511. The artwork, measuring 12.1x7.3 cm, is housed in the prestigious Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. Generously gifted by Calvin J. Holmes, this Netherlandish masterpiece depicts the revered Christian saint with remarkable detail and precision. St Bartholomew stands before us as a symbol of faith and martyrdom. Clad in flowing drapery that gracefully envelops his figure, he holds two knives - an emblematic representation of his gruesome fate as a martyr who was flayed alive for his religious beliefs. The artist's skillful rendering captures every nuance of emotion on St Bartholomew's face; his expression reflects both strength and vulnerability amidst the impending tragedy he faces. Radiating from above are halos that signify divine presence and sanctity. Lucas van Leyden's engraving immortalizes the essence of Christianity through this powerful portrayal of one of its most revered figures. It serves as a reminder to viewers about the sacrifices made by early believers who stood firm in their convictions despite persecution. Through this print from Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate not only the technical mastery displayed by van Leyden but also delve into deeper contemplation about faith and devotion that transcends time and place.
