About the piece
Painted around 1630, Jusepe de Ribera’s depiction of Saint Bartholomew is a powerful study in the Caravaggiesque style. The saint is rendered with intense realism, his weathered face and hands illuminated against a deep, shadowed background to create a sense of dramatic presence and spiritual gravitas.
