"The Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew" is a significant oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in 1634 during the Baroque period, this work is a profound representation of the suffering of St. Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, who was subjected to flaying and martyrdom. Ribera, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow as well as his realistic depictions of human figures, imbues this painting with a visceral intensity that captures the viewer's attention.

The painting, measuring 202 cm by 153 cm, is currently housed in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. It portrays the moment before the martyrdom, with St. Bartholomew bound and resigned to his fate, surrounded by his tormentors. Ribera's mastery of chiaroscuro is evident in the stark contrasts between the dark background and the illuminated figures, emphasizing the tension and drama of the scene. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of the human anatomy, a testament to Ribera's skill and his study of the human form.

Ribera's depiction of St. Bartholomew's martyrdom is not only a reflection of the religious fervor of the Counter-Reformation but also an exploration of human suffering and fortitude. The painting is a prime example of Ribera's contribution to the Spanish school of painting and his influence on the development of Baroque art. It remains an important work for both its artistic merit and its historical significance as a representation of the themes of martyrdom and faith in 17th-century European art.
