EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white woodcut print, created by the renowned French Baroque artist Jacques Stella in the 17th century, depicts Saint Bartholomew, a prominent figure in Christian history and tradition. Saint Bartholomew, also known as Nathanael, is depicted here with his characteristic attribute of holding a flaying knife and the skin of his own back, symbolizing his martyrdom. The saint is shown standing with a serious expression, looking over his shoulder as if reflecting on his past. The intricate details of the print, with its bold lines and high contrast, transport us back to the Baroque era, a time marked by grandeur, drama, and ornate decoration. The use of monochrome in this print adds a sense of depth and timelessness, making it a captivating piece of heritage art. Jacques Stella, a prominent artist of the French Baroque period, is known for his mastery of woodcut technique, which is evident in the intricate details and expressive lines of this print. The print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the artist, as well as the rich cultural heritage of France during the 17th century. This print is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The image of Saint Bartholomew, with his halo and weapon, serves as a reminder of the complexities and contradictions of human nature, as well as the enduring power of religious iconography in art.
