Giovanni Marco Pitteri's "God the Father and Eleven of the Twelve Apostles" depicts the apostle Bartholomew, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. This engraving, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, presents Bartholomew holding his flaying knife, a symbol of his martyrdom. The dramatic composition emphasizes the apostle’s gaze upwards as he looks towards heaven. This powerful imagery reflects the traditional representation of Bartholomew in Christian art.
