An etching by Jusepe de Ribera depicting the martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew. The work is characterised by strong contrasts of light and shadow, typical of the artist's Baroque style.
Jusepe de Ribera, a leading Spanish artist of the Baroque period, created this etching depicting the martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew. Ribera, also known as José de Ribera and as Jusepe Ribera in Spanish, spent most of his active career in Spanish-controlled Naples. He was a significant figure in the European art world, known for his tenebrism and naturalistic style, influenced by Caravaggio. His work often explored themes of violence, suffering, and religious ecstasy. This etching captures the brutal scene of Saint Bartholomew's martyrdom. The saint, his arms bound above his head, is shown as executioners prepare to flay him alive. The composition is stark and dramatic, with strong contrasts of light and shadow that heighten the emotional intensity. Ribera's skill as a draughtsman is evident in the detailed rendering of the figures and their expressions. The etching technique allows for fine lines and textures, adding to the realism of the scene. The figures surrounding the saint display a range of emotions, from detached cruelty to morbid curiosity. The overall effect is one of intense drama and pathos, characteristic of Ribera's approach to religious subjects.

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
