H. Bartolomeüs c. 1596 - 1652

This engraving, titled "H. Bartolomeüs," was created by Zacharias Dolendo, a Dutch artist, around 1596-1652. It features a detailed portrayal of Saint Bartholomew, an apostle in Christianity, holding a book and a knife. Dolendo was known for his masterful use of line and shading, creating a sense of depth and realism in the figure's expression and the folds of his garment. The circular format of the artwork, framed by a simple border, further emphasizes the saint's presence. This piece is a testament to Dolendo's skill in capturing the solemnity and devotion associated with religious figures.
