Saint Bartholomew Baptising is a 1450 unspecified by Unknown, depicting Bartholomew the Apostle, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a man standing in a large, pinkish-red baptismal font. He is naked except for a white loincloth, and his hands are clasped together in front of his chest. The man on the left, dressed in a red robe with a gold halo, is pouring water over the man's head. The other figures are dressed in various colors and are watching the scene unfold. The scene is set in a stone building with arches and columns, and the atmosphere is one of reverence and solemnity. The use of muted colors and the focus on the central figure create a sense of intimacy and contemplation.
