Statue of Saint Bartholomew Flayed, Duomo di Milano (Milan, Italy). Sculpted in 1562 by Marco d'Agrate, this famous Renaissance statue depicts the Apostle Saint Bartholomew carrying his own flayed skin draped around his shoulders like a mantle. The masterwork is renowned for its strikingly detailed anatomical rendering of human muscles and tendons, reflecting the era's deep fascination with scientific study. An inscription at the pedestal's base playfully compares the sculptor's skill to Classical Greek masters: "Non me Praxiteles, sed Marcus finxit Agrat" ("Not Praxiteles, but Marco d'Agrate made me").
