In the lower foreground is the … more Antique oil on canvas painting of Flemish provenance representing the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. In the lower foreground is the martyrdom scene: on the right, the group of archers forms the dramatic core of the scene, with an intense contrast between their troubled faces, their silhouettes partially in shadow, their muscles tense in exertion on one side and on the other, the radiant beauty of the saint, whose body, defined by a decisive plasticism and massive bulk, meekly offers itself to martyrdom, even curving into a position parallel to the hostile arches. In the upper part an angel comes to the saint's rescue having in his hands the laurel wreath-symbol of victory through martyrdom-and the palm symbolizing martyrdom and rebirth. Condition: Very good condition. Measurements: 115x115cm. Provenance: 17th-century Cologne. Document: Certificate of Authenticity. less
