"Saint Sebastian, " Unusual Depiction of Nude Figure, Oil on Canvas
About the Item
Quiet and at peace, with almost a smile on his face, the expired Saint Sebastian depicted here -- in the nude, as is customary, and wounded with multiple arrows -- probably dates to the early to mid-19th century, given the subject's hair and facial features. Beautifully painted in oil on canvas, the figure is lit in a gentle chiaroscuro manner, his muscles defined, his head dramatically lit, but his surroundings plunged in darkness. The painting is probably Swedish or Northern European, and features an inventory number on the frame, as well as an old auction or exhibition label. (Dimensions include frame.)

- "The Entombment of Christ, " Fine Copy of Titian Masterpiece, Oil on CanvasLocated in Philadelphia, PABeautifully painted, probably in the 19th or early 20th centuries, this copy of the famed "Le Transport du Christ au Tombeau" painting by Titian (Tiziano) in the collection of the Louvre in Paris, was recently found in the attic of a Hudson Valley monastery. The Louvre original, considered an early painting by the master, dates to the same period as his famous "Pastoral Concert" and shows the strong influence of Gorgione. This scene depicts the collaborative efforts of Joseph of Arimathea, Saint John and Nicodemus as they moved Christ's body from the cross to his tomb, watched by the two grieving Marys -- his mother and Mary Magdalene. It is not known who painted this copy, though of course artists over the years have copied the great Master paintings...Category
