Further information on this artwork
Der Heilige der Darstellungtradition folgend, vor dunkler Hintergrundfolie an einen Baum gefesselt dargestellt mit den Pfeilen seines Martyriums im Leib. Der Blick nach links oben außerhalb der Bildfläche gerichtet, wo man sich eine göttliche Erscheinung im Augenblick seines Martyriums vorstellen muss. Sowohl Komposition als auch Ausführung und Beleuchtung weisen in den Umkreis des bedeutenden Malers Guido Reni (1575-1642). (1110013) (21)
Guido Reni,
1575 Bologna - 1642 ibid., circle of
SAINT SEBASTIAN
Oil on canvas. Relined.
156.5 x 106 cm.
Unframed.
In line with the iconography the saint is shown suffering his martyrdom tied to a tree, his body pierced by arrows against a dark background. He gazes upwards to the left, to a point outside the image field where a divine apparition is to be imagined. Composition, execution and lighting all point to the circle of the famous painter Guido Reni (1575 - 1642).
