"The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus" is a significant Baroque painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, created in the 17th century. This work is one of Poussin's early religious compositions, depicting the gruesome martyrdom of Saint Erasmus, also known as Saint Elmo, who was a Christian saint and martyr of the late Roman Empire. The painting is renowned for its dramatic representation of the saint's suffering and its meticulous attention to compositional detail, which is characteristic of Poussin's style.

In the painting, Poussin portrays the moment of Erasmus's execution, where he is subjected to the harrowing torture of having his intestines wound around a windlass. The scene is set against a classical landscape, which is typical of Poussin's work, and the figures are arranged in a manner that reflects the artist's study of ancient art and his commitment to clarity and order. The painting's composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye through the narrative, with the use of light, color, and gesture all serving to emphasize the central action and the emotional intensity of the scene.

"The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus" is considered an important example of Poussin's religious works and is often discussed in the context of his contributions to French Baroque painting. The piece reflects the artist's intellectual approach to art, his mastery of the classical tradition, and his ability to convey complex theological and emotional content through his paintings. While the current location of the original painting may not be widely known, the work remains a testament to Poussin's influence on the development of French art and his enduring legacy as one of the leading painters of the 17th century.
