The "Martyrdom of St Philip" is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in 1639, this work is a striking example of Ribera's dramatic and emotive style, which was heavily influenced by Caravaggio and the Italian Baroque movement. The painting depicts the crucifixion of Saint Philip, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, who, according to Christian tradition, was martyred by being crucified upside down.

Measuring 92 x 92 inches (234 x 234 cm), the "Martyrdom of St Philip" is significant for its large scale and the intense physical and emotional expression captured within the scene. Ribera's mastery of chiaroscuro—the strong contrast between light and dark—is evident in this work, as is his ability to convey the textures of skin, cloth, and the natural world. The painting's composition draws the viewer's eye to the central figure of St Philip, whose body is twisted in agony, yet his face is rendered with a sense of serene acceptance of his fate.

The "Martyrdom of St Philip" is considered one of Ribera's masterpieces and is a key example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on dramatic, emotional religious imagery designed to inspire piety and devotion in the viewer. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it remains an important work in the museum's collection of Spanish Baroque art.

Ribera's work has been the subject of scholarly attention for its technical brilliance and its psychological depth. The "Martyrdom of St Philip" continues to be admired for its powerful depiction of suffering and sanctity, and it stands as a testament to Ribera's skill in capturing the human condition and the spiritual fervor of his time.
