St Bartholomew FlayedMarco d’Agrate

This haunting statue of St Bartholomew (1562) shows the martyr after being skinned alive, wearing his own flayed skin like a cloak. The anatomical precision reveals a Renaissance fascination with the human body, while the calm expression evokes spiritual endurance beyond physical torment.
