The "Martyrdom of St Processus and St Martinian" is a significant Baroque-era painting completed in 1629 by the French artist Jean de Boulogne, better known as Valentin de Boulogne or simply Valentin. This work is an exemplar of Valentin's dramatic and emotive style, which was heavily influenced by Caravaggio, underlining the Caravaggisti movement's impact on European art during the 17th century.

The painting depicts the martyrdom of Saints Processus and Martinian, two Roman jailers who were converted to Christianity by Saints Peter and Paul and subsequently executed for their newfound faith under the reign of the Emperor Nero. Valentin's portrayal of this scene is characterized by his use of chiaroscuro, the stark contrast between light and dark, to heighten the emotional intensity and focus on the figures' expressions and the drama of the moment.

Valentin's composition is masterful in its arrangement of figures and use of space, guiding the viewer's eye across the canvas to witness the narrative unfold. The saints are shown in the moment of their suffering, imbuing the painting with a sense of piety and reverence that was typical of Counter-Reformation art, intended to inspire the faithful.

The "Martyrdom of St Processus and St Martinian" is considered an important work in Valentin's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to convey complex narratives and human emotions. It is a testament to the international spread of Caravaggism and the enduring influence of Caravaggio's dramatic realism on his followers. The painting remains a valuable piece for the study of Baroque art and its religious and historical themes.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a notable collection or museum, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic heritage of the Baroque period. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
