About the Item

This 17th-century Southern European Baroque sculpture powerfully embodies the martyrdom and miraculous endurance of Saint Sebastian, a Roman soldier condemned for his Christian faith. Tied to a tree and pierced with arrows, Sebastian miraculously survived this brutal execution, a testament to divine intervention before ultimately succumbing to his fate. Unlike the later 18th-century idealized depictions, this carved and painted wooden sculpture with its original patina embraces the Baroque era’s dramatic intensity, stripping away embellishment to confront us with the raw suffering and sacred resilience of the saint. The unpolished, almost naïve execution enhances the emotional gravity, making this piece a rare and evocative relic of faith, sacrifice, and the theatrical expressiveness of Baroque art, where realism and drama heighten devotion.

Carved Wood Saint Sebastien, Southern Germany, c. 1510-1520

Located in Saint-Ouen, FR

Carved wood Saint Sebastian Origin : Southern Germany Period : c. 1510-1520 Measures: Height : 146 cm Width : 67 cm Depth : 30 cm Walnut Good condition According to Jocobus de Varagine’s Golden Legend Sebastian was born in Narbonne where he was promoted head of the first cohort by emperors Maximian and Diocletian who were fond of him. One day as Marcellin and Marc were condemned because of their Christian faith Sebastian urged them to not give away. He would then convert many Roman soldiers before being reported to Diocletian. The emperor had him tied against a post in a middle of the Field of Mars and pierced by the soldiers’ arrows. Sebastian did not die and recovered thanks to Irene’s good care. Once he had recovered from his injuries he went to the palace to critized the emperor’s attitude towards Christians. Sebastian was beaten to death. Following the common iconography Saint Sebastian is here depicted leaning against crooked tree with his arms tied with ropes. His peaceful face presents a straight nose and small lips framed by his hair locks. His head turned to the right side is slighlty tilted backwards as if he was gazing at the sky. Saint Sebastian body’s is gracefully presented in contrapposto. Almost completely naked a single piece of draped cloth is tied on his right hip and fall over his left knee. The carved folds give the fabric the realness of a heavy cloth. The arrows wounds are still visible. The saint’s anatomy with its bulging muscles and protruding ribs illustrate the sculptor’s skills. The right arm’s movement enlivens the sculpture. The artist who authored this sculpture knew how to breathe grace and life to his work through the expression of the saint’s face...
