One of most precious pieces of art in the Milan Cathedral, is the sculpture of St. Bartholomew, by Marco D’Agrate, (1562}
St. Bartholomew was condemned to one of most inhuman execution: the Syrian martyrdom. That is being skinned alive and then beheaded.
The statue shows the human body anatomical devoid of skin in fine detail, with the skin thrown like a stole on the shoulders of the martyr.
