Peter Paul Rubens' "Saint Bartholomew" (1612) is a Baroque-style oil painting depicting the apostle Saint Bartholomew, known for his brutal martyrdom. The saint, depicted with a weathered face and a knife held in his hand, is said to have been flayed alive. The painting, with its dramatic use of light and shadow, highlights the saint's suffering and his unwavering faith.
