"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 1634 during the artist's mature period, this work is a striking example of Ribera's dramatic and intense style, which was heavily influenced by Caravaggio. The painting depicts the flaying of Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, who was subjected to this torture before being executed for his faith.

Ribera's depiction is noted for its graphic realism and the powerful expression of agony on the saint's face, which conveys the brutality of the martyrdom with a visceral intensity. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and adds to the overall dramatic effect. The painting's composition, with its dynamic figures and the stark play of light, exemplifies Ribera's skill in portraying human suffering and religious fervor.

"Martyrium des Heiligen Bartholomäus" is part of Ribera's extensive religious oeuvre, which includes numerous works on the theme of martyrdom and the saints. The painting is a testament to the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the depiction of martyrdom as a means of inspiring piety and devotion among the faithful. Ribera's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as Francisco de Zurbarán and Diego Velázquez, who also explored similar themes in their art.

The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of Ribera's masterpieces. It is frequently studied for its technical prowess and its emotional impact, as well as for its place within the broader context of 17th-century Spanish art. "Martyrium des Heiligen Bartholomäus" remains an important work for understanding the Baroque period and the artistic movements that shaped European art during this time.
