"The Martyrdom of St Erasmus" is a 1628 painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, a leading painter of the classical French Baroque style. This artwork, housed in the Vatican Pinacoteca in Vatican City, depicts the gruesome martyrdom of Saint Erasmus, also known as Saint Elmo, who was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to Christian tradition, Erasmus was killed during the persecutions of the Roman emperor Diocletian through disembowelment, and Poussin's painting vividly captures this brutal event.

In the painting, Poussin employs his characteristic use of clear, disciplined lines and a muted color palette to convey the drama and intensity of the scene. The composition is carefully structured, with the figures arranged to guide the viewer's eye towards the central action, where Erasmus endures his suffering with a stoic expression, reflecting the saint's martyrdom and spiritual steadfastness. The work is an example of Poussin's skill in blending narrative clarity with emotional and psychological depth, making it a significant piece in the study of 17th-century European art.

"The Martyrdom of St Erasmus" is not only a reflection of Poussin's artistic skills but also serves as a cultural artifact that offers insights into the religious and historical contexts of its time, illustrating the valorization of martyrdom in the Counter-Reformation period. The painting remains an important work for scholars studying Baroque art and the religious iconography of the era.
