"Das Martyrium des Heiligen Bartholomäus" (The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew) is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the early 17th century, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting religious narratives with intense emotionality and dramatic use of light and shadow, hallmarks of the Tenebrist style that flourished during the Baroque period. Ribera, who spent most of his career in Naples, then part of the Spanish Empire, was profoundly influenced by Caravaggio's revolutionary approach to realism and chiaroscuro. This influence is evident in "Das Martyrium des Heiligen Bartholomäus," where Ribera employs stark contrasts and detailed realism to convey the harrowing scene of Saint Bartholomew's martyrdom.

The painting portrays the moment from Christian hagiography where Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, is subjected to flaying as a form of torture and execution for his faith. Ribera's depiction is not just a literal representation of the event but also a profound exploration of human suffering and divine faith. The saint's expression, a mixture of agony and resignation, invites viewers to contemplate the nature of martyrdom and faith's trials. The executioners are depicted with a sense of individuality, adding a complex layer of humanity to the scene; they are not mere caricatures of evil but individuals carrying out a grim task, possibly reflecting on their actions.

This painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its contribution to the Baroque exploration of themes such as martyrdom, faith, and the human condition. "Das Martyrium des Heiligen Bartholomäus" is a testament to Ribera's skill in blending physical realism with emotional depth, making it a compelling study for art historians and enthusiasts alike. The work is housed in a prominent museum collection, continuing to attract admiration and scholarly interest for its historical, religious, and artistic significance.
