EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the profound sculpture of "St. Bartholomew skinned" by Marco d'Agrate, housed within the magnificent Cathedral of Milan. The statue stands as a testament to the artistic brilliance of both Mannerism and Renaissance-Baroque styles, representing a significant period in European art history. Dating back to around 1562, this remarkable artwork showcases Agrate's mastery in sculpting the human form. The image itself was captured circa 1890, allowing us to appreciate not only the sculpture but also its historical significance. The subject matter is St. Bartholomew himself, depicted in his most vulnerable state - skinned alive for his unwavering faith. This portrayal evokes a sense of awe and reverence, highlighting the saint's sacrifice and devotion to Christianity. The male figure stands tall with an air of solemnity, draped in a mantle cloak that adds an element of regality to his nakedness. Every intricate detail is beautifully preserved through this photograph by Brogi from Alinari: from the delicate folds of fabric cascading down Bartholomew's body to each meticulously carved muscle on display. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of artistry frozen in time, it serves as a reminder not only of our shared human experience but also our collective spiritual journey throughout history. It invites contemplation on themes such as faith, martyrdom, and religious devotion that have shaped Europe over centuries. This print encapsulates more than just an exquisite work of art; it represents an enduring symbol that transcends time – reminding us all that beauty can be found even amidst suffering and sacrifice.
