"Saint Bartholomew" is a painting by Andrea Meldolla, also known as Schiavone, an Italian painter of the Venetian school who was active during the Renaissance in the mid-16th century. This artwork is one of the notable representations of the Christian apostle Bartholomew, who was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and is traditionally identified as Nathanael in the New Testament. Schiavone's depiction of Saint Bartholomew is significant for its artistic style, which reflects the transition from the High Renaissance to the Mannerist period.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, typical of Schiavone's work, which often exhibits a dynamic and expressive approach to figure composition. The representation of Saint Bartholomew in this piece is likely to emphasize his martyrdom; he is often depicted with a flaying knife, referencing his reputed torture where he was skinned alive. Schiavone's interpretation may include this attribute or alternatively focus on the saint's apostolic mission, as seen in other artistic portrayals.

While the exact date of creation for "Saint Bartholomew" is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to Schiavone's mature period. The painting's provenance and current location are also essential details that provide context for the work's historical and cultural significance. As with many works of art from this era, the painting's condition, any restoration efforts it may have undergone, and its exhibition history contribute to its narrative and the understanding of Schiavone's oeuvre.

Andrea Meldolla Schiavone is recognized for his innovative techniques and the influence he had on his contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists. His works are held in high esteem and can be found in various art collections, museums, and galleries around the world. "Saint Bartholomew" is a testament to Schiavone's skill and his contribution to the development of Venetian painting in the 16th century.
