DrLindseyFitzharris, 10 months ago This is statue of Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. Notice: that's not a robe that he’s holding. It's his dissected skin. This stunning statute is by the Italian sculptor Marco d’Agrate, c.1562. #histodons #sciart #histodon #history #arthistory #religious #religioushistory #twitterstorians
