EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Bartholomew Flayed (1562) is a striking Renaissance sculpture of the apostle St. Bartholomew, located in the transept of the Cathedral of Milan. Created by the talented Italian sculptor Marco d'Agrate around 1562, this masterpiece showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the human form and the raw emotion of martyrdom. The statue depicts St. Bartholomew in a state of profound suffering, his skin flayed off, revealing the muscles and sinews beneath. This graphic representation of his martyrdom is a testament to the deep faith and devotion of the Christian community during the 16th century. The statue is carved from marble, a material that adds to its grandeur and durability. Marco d'Agrate, born around 1504 in Italy, was a prominent figure in the world of Renaissance art. He was known for his ability to blend classical Greek and Roman influences with contemporary Italian art. The St. Bartholomew Flayed statue is a prime example of his unique style, which combines realism with a deep sense of emotion and spirituality. The statue is a significant historical artifact, not only for the Cathedral of Milan but also for the European art scene of the modern age. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Italy during the Renaissance period and the enduring influence of its masters on contemporary art.
