Rembrandt van Rijn, one of the most celebrated painters of the Dutch Golden Age, painted ‘Saint Bartholomew’ in 1657. This work depicts Saint Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, often symbolized by a knife which signifies his martyrdom. Rembrandt’s masterful use of light and shadow, along with his detailed characterization, brings depth and emotion to the saint’s portrayal.
