The Martyrdom of Saint Bartholomew

Jusepe de Ribera

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated on the ground, with his arms tied to a tree behind him. He is nude except for a cloth around his waist. There are other figures around him, one interacting with him and another bent over. The background includes trees, rocky terrain, a cloudy sky, distant hills or mountains, and some architectural elements.
