"Saint Bartholomew" is a monochromatic etching by Johannes Pieter de Frey, a Dutch artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The work, which is currently housed in the Städel Museum, depicts the apostle Bartholomew, holding a knife, a symbol of his martyrdom. De Frey's skilled use of shading and detail creates a realistic portrait of Bartholomew, emphasizing the solemn piety of the subject. This work is a testament to de Frey's talent for portraying religious figures with depth and emotion.
