About the piece
Painted in 1657, this powerful portrait by Rembrandt depicts Saint Bartholomew holding a knife, the symbol of his martyrdom. The work exemplifies the artist's late style, characterized by a thick impasto and a masterful use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of profound psychological depth and spiritual introspection.
