"Martyrdom of St. Erasmus" is a painting by the renowned French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, completed in 1628-1629. This work is notable for its dramatic depiction of the martyrdom of Saint Erasmus, also known as Saint Elmo, who was a Christian bishop and martyr. The painting was commissioned for the altar of a church in Rome, reflecting Poussin's early career in the city where he was influenced by the classical traditions and the works of Caravaggio.

In the composition, Poussin captures the intense moment of Erasmus's martyrdom with a focus on emotional expression and dynamic movement. The saint is depicted in the center, surrounded by figures that convey a sense of chaos and suffering. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique involving strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect and highlights the central figure of Erasmus.

Poussin's attention to detail and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art are evident in this work. The painting reflects his interest in classical antiquity and his skill in rendering human anatomy and emotion. The figures are arranged in a harmonious yet dynamic composition, typical of Poussin's style, which often combines elements of order and movement.

"Martyrdom of St. Erasmus" is housed in the Vatican Museums, where it remains an important example of Poussin's early work and his contribution to the Baroque movement. The painting is appreciated for its technical mastery and its ability to convey a powerful religious narrative, making it a significant piece in the study of 17th-century European art. Through this work, Poussin demonstrates his ability to blend classical influences with the emotional intensity characteristic of the Baroque period.
