Gilt Bronze Plaque of Saint Sebastian — 17th Century

About the Item

Gilt Bronze Plaque of Saint Sebastian — 17th Century Exceptional gilt bronze devotional plaque, made in Spain according to 17th-century principles. This type of object, of intimate size and refined execution, was used both for private devotion and to adorn small domestic altars. The plaque represents Saint Sebastian, the martyr Christians venerated for his endurance and invincibility. The figure of the saint appears leaning against a tree, his bare torso elegantly modeled and crossed by arrows, in keeping with traditional iconography. The anatomical treatment is natural and balanced, typical of the Spanish Baroque style, which allows for the virtuosity of the model and the expression contained in the painting. The background shows a roughly outlined landscape, which extends deeply into the scene. The surface retains an original golden color, applied to the bronze with a quality that restores the volumes and details of the composition. Technical details Culture: Material: Bronze finely gilded with fire Period: First third of the 17th century (around 1600-1630) Dimensions: 10 × 7 cm (without the suspension) State of conservation The plaque is preserved in excellent condition, with a stable and well-preserved golden patina. No presentation of visible restorations or structural damage, guaranteeing its integrity and authenticity.
