St. Bartholomew is a 1661 oil by Rembrandt, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Bartholomew the Apostle, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting depicts a man with a contemplative expression, his right hand resting on his chin. He is dressed in a white shirt and a brown jacket, with a red cloak draped over his left shoulder. The background is dark, which accentuates the subject's features. The man's gaze is directed downward, and his facial expression conveys a sense of introspection. His right hand, with its prominent veins, adds a sense of realism to the portrait. The overall mood of the painting is somber and reflective.
