This is one of the most haunting sculptures ever produced.

It depicts Saint Bartholomew, one of Christ's twelve apostles, who brought Christianity to India and Armenia in the 1st century.

Like many Christian martyrs, he suffered an excruciating demise; a common account tells that he was skinned alive and then beheaded, in punishment for converting the king of Armenia to the faith.

This terrifying piece is by Renaissance artist Marco d’Agrate. It's a rare example of an écorché (a figure showing the muscles of the body without skin) in sculpture, produced in exquisite detail from a block of marble in 1562.

The "cloak" you see draped over the apostle's shoulder is not clothing but his own skin. Bartholomew wears it proudly, clutching the knife that flayed him. Despite his torment he stands defiant and stern in expression, quite literally wearing his own suffering. According to legend, Bartholomew continued preaching to a rapt audience after his executors had flayed him.

The contrapposto stance and determined glare make an interesting parallel to Michelangelo's "David". But d’Agrate went one further - the subject here is (literally) stripped bare with remarkable anatomical precision, the result of d’Agrate's careful study of the human body. Every vein, muscle and tendon is represented in minute detail.

The unique sculpture has lived at Milan Cathedral for nearly five centuries, reminding visitors of the power of enduring faith in the face of religious persecution.

Frank Sinatra was a fervent anti-racist and an early activist during the civil rights movement. He refused to stay at hotels and play at clubs that did not admit black people. His band would also provide equal pay and treatment for black musicians. It was through his relentless and tireless efforts that Las Vegas quickly became integrated.

In an interview in 2016, Frank Sinatra, Jr. had this to say about his father: "In the days when Las Vegas began to become popular, the black performers could play in showrooms, but they couldn't stay in the hotel. And it was Frank Sinatra who went to the board of directors, who had rather shady pasts, and he said, 'Are you guys going to come into the twentieth century, or aren't you?'... Somebody said 'Well, we have white people, we have black people." Sinatra, the story goes, said to them, 'The money is green. How about that?' And they began to look at each other, and the wheels were turning, and because of Sammy (Davis), Las Vegas became integrated.

Sinatra was also a significant supporter of Martin Luther King and helped him raise money to support the Civil Rights Movement by headlining fundraisers. In 1958, he wrote in Ebony Magazine: "A friend to me has no race, no class and belongs to no minority. My friendships are formed out of affection, mutual respect, and a feeling of having something in common. These are eternal values that cannot be classified."
