Museo del Greco
Toledo, Spain

St. Bartholomew is a unique figure in this Apostolic series, since he is not recognised in any of the other series (Catedral de Toledo, Museo Bellas Artes de Oviedo, Almadrones). In his hand we can make out the knife which cut his throat and at his feet, tied with a chain, the demon Astaroth whose temptations he overcame.
