Saint Bartholomew is a 1365 unspecified by Andrea di Bonaiuto, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting St. James the Elder, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting depicts a saint, likely Saint Bartholomew, standing in a white robe adorned with small red flowers. He holds a knife in his right hand and a book in his left. The background is a warm orange color, with a halo surrounding the saint's head. The saint's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer. The saint's attire and the objects he holds suggest a sense of reverence and importance. The warm colors used in the background add to the overall sense of solemnity. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Andrea di Bonaiuto, who was known for his depictions of religious figures.
Andrea di Bonaiuto da Firenze or Andrea da Firenze was an Italian painter active in Florence.
