A dramatic Baroque portrait by Jusepe de Ribera, depicting St. Bartholomew with a knife, a symbol of his martyrdom. The painting features tenebrism, with strong contrasts of light and shadow.
Jusepe de Ribera, a leading painter and printmaker of the Spanish Baroque period, created this compelling depiction of St. Bartholomew. Ribera, also known as José de Ribera, spent most of his active career in Italy, specifically Naples, then under Spanish rule. His work is characterised by its tenebrism, a dramatic use of light and shadow, and its naturalistic, often unflinching, portrayal of human subjects. He drew inspiration from Caravaggio and other Italian masters. In this painting, St. Bartholomew is shown as an elderly, partially nude man, draped with a light-coloured cloth. His gaze is directed upwards, suggesting a moment of religious ecstasy or contemplation. The saint holds a knife, a reference to his martyrdom, where he was flayed alive. The dark background intensifies the focus on Bartholomew's figure, emphasising the textures of his skin and the folds of the drapery. Ribera's skill in rendering the human form and his ability to convey deep emotion are evident in this powerful image.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Jusepe de Ribera
painting Naples's street people as saints and philosophers with a naturalism more visceral than Caravaggio's
