H. Bartolomeüs 1640 - 1701

This engraving, created by French artist Pierre Landry between 1640 and 1701, depicts Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. The artwork showcases Landry’s skill in capturing detail, evident in the intricate folds of Bartholomew’s robe and the realistic portrayal of his face. The composition, with Bartholomew seated and looking upwards, creates a sense of reverence and spirituality, typical of religious art of this period. The artwork, measuring 166 mm by 119 mm, is a testament to Landry’s expertise in etching and his ability to evoke emotion through his depictions of religious figures.
