San Bartolomé, apóstol de Jesús y testigo de la ascensión de Jesús. Bartolomé fue desollado vivo por el rey de Armenia. Su fiesta la celebra la Iglesia catolica el 24 de agosto. Esta imagen, esculpida por Marco D’Agrate en 1562, se encuentra en la catedral de Milán. Eso que el santo lleva alrededor de sus hombros no es un manto, es su piel…
Saint Bartholomew was an apostle of Jesus and as well a witness to his ascension into heaven. He died a martyr in Armenia when the king ordered that he be tortured and flayed. The above sculpture was done by Marco D’Agrate in 1562. It stands in the Cathedral of Milan. And what you see around the Saint’s shoulders is not a tunic, it is his skin…

One of impressive and great sculpture… He signed it with a line in Latin that states: «Non me Praxiteles, sed Marc’finxit Agrat, » («I was not made by Praxiteles but by Marco d’Agrate») Beautiful dear Franco, I was speechless when I saw it. Thank you, Love, nia
