"Saint Bartholomew" is a notable painting by the Italian artist Daniele Crespi, created in the early 17th century, during the Baroque period. Crespi, known for his religious works and dramatic use of light and shadow, was an influential figure in the Lombard school of painting. This particular artwork depicts Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, who is recognized as a martyr in Christian tradition.

The painting portrays Saint Bartholomew after his martyrdom, in which he was flayed alive, according to historical accounts. Crespi's representation is often lauded for its stark realism and emotional intensity, capturing the saint's serene acceptance of his fate. The work is characterized by its meticulous attention to anatomical detail, particularly in the rendering of the saint's flayed skin, which reflects Crespi's knowledge of human anatomy and his skill in conveying texture and form.

The composition of "Saint Bartholomew" is marked by a strong chiaroscuro effect, a hallmark of Baroque painting, where the interplay of light and dark serves to highlight the figure of the saint and imbue the scene with a sense of depth and volume. The use of color is subdued, with a limited palette that emphasizes earth tones, which further accentuates the dramatic impact of the image.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is generally dated to Crespi's mature period, when he had fully developed his distinctive style. "Saint Bartholomew" is considered one of Crespi's masterpieces and is often cited as an exemplary work of Baroque art, reflecting the period's aesthetic values and religious fervor.

The painting has been the subject of scholarly attention for its artistic merit and its portrayal of martyrdom, which resonated with the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the veneration of saints and the visual representation of their sacrifices. "Saint Bartholomew" by Daniele Crespi remains an important work in the study of Baroque painting and continues to be appreciated for its powerful depiction of faith and suffering.
