"Saint Bartholomew" is a renowned engraving by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, dated to 1514. This work is part of a series of engravings known as the "Apostles" or the "Apostle series," which showcases Dürer's masterful handling of the engraving medium and his deep engagement with religious subjects. The engraving depicts the apostle Bartholomew, who is traditionally identified as one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. He is often associated with the act of flaying, as he is believed to have been martyred by being skinned alive.

In this particular piece, Dürer presents Saint Bartholomew in a three-quarter profile, standing with an introspective gaze. The apostle is shown holding a flaying knife, which serves as his attribute and a reminder of his martyrdom. The work is characterized by its exquisite detail, careful hatching, and the interplay of light and shadow, which were hallmarks of Dürer's engravings. The precise lines and intricate textures showcase Dürer's skill in conveying both the physical and psychological presence of his subject.

The engraving of Saint Bartholomew is celebrated for its technical brilliance and its contribution to the development of the Northern Renaissance. It reflects the humanist interests of the time, as Dürer's portrayal goes beyond a mere religious iconography to capture a sense of individual character and emotion. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of Dürer's important religious representations, offering insight into the artist's personal faith and the broader cultural context of the early 16th century.

As with many of Dürer's prints, "Saint Bartholomew" has been widely studied and admired, and it remains an influential piece in the history of art. Original impressions of the engraving are held in various museum collections around the world, attesting to its enduring significance and appeal.
