There are multiple illustrations, including this c. 1190 A.D. bas relief from the West Portal at the Basilica of St. Trophime, Arles, France (the other half of the pair was used to illustrate the episode on St. James).  Other illustration are a detail from Michaelangelo’s The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican; a statue by Pierre le Gros at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Rome; an early 20th C. picture of a now-abandoned monastery named after St. Bartholomew on the Turkey/Armenia border; a painting by Dosso Dossi; and a photograph of a church in Rome where his remains are found.
