"St. Bartholomew" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Andrea Bonaiuti, also known as Andrea da Firenze, who was active during the 14th century. This artwork is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Spanish Chapel, which is located within the cloister of the Santa Maria Novella church in Florence, Italy. The chapel's frescoes are renowned for their vivid depiction of theological themes and narratives.

The fresco of St. Bartholomew is believed to have been created in the 1360s and showcases the typical Gothic style of the period, characterized by elongated figures and a strong emphasis on linearity. The work is part of a hagiographic cycle that illustrates the lives and martyrdoms of various saints, with St. Bartholomew traditionally believed to have been flayed alive for his faith.

In the fresco, St. Bartholomew is often depicted holding his own skin, a symbol of his martyrdom, and a flaying knife, which is his attribute as a saint. The representation of the saint in this manner serves as a testament to his sacrifice and steadfastness in the Christian faith. Andrea Bonaiuti's work is noted for its detailed narrative approach and the use of color, which together create a compelling visual story of the saint's life and death.

The frescoes in the Spanish Chapel, including "St. Bartholomew," are considered significant examples of 14th-century Florentine art. They reflect the religious and cultural milieu of the time, as well as the artistic innovations that were emerging in Italy during the early Renaissance. Andrea Bonaiuti's contributions to the chapel are particularly valued for their artistic merit and the insight they provide into the iconography and devotional practices of the period.
