Jesus og de 12 apostle: Bartholomæus 1566 - 1654

This drawing, created between 1566 and 1654 by German artist Matthäus Gundelach, depicts the apostle Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. Bartholomew is depicted holding a book in his left hand, with his right hand tucked behind his back. The drawing showcases Gundelach’s skill in rendering realistic human figures, particularly in the way he captures the subtle folds of Bartholomew’s robe and his weathered features. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
