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.

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...
