Spanish school, late 15th century. "Saint Sebastian". Carved and polychrome wood. Measurements: 95 x 34 x 19,5 cm. Carving worked in a rounded mass, belonging to the early Renaissance. The martyrdom of Saint Sebastian was one of the most represented during the Renaissance, since it allowed the artists to study the anatomy of a young and naked body. The sculpture in question presents the elements that were of most interest in the period: the precise shaping of the limbs, the anatomical beauty, the supple musculature and the serenity of a face that remains oblivious to suffering. It is rather melancholy that is conveyed by the countenance. The quality of the carving is evident in every detail: the curved breasts, the sensual draping of the drapery, the slight movement of one leg, and the twisting of the knee. Born in Gaul and raised in Milan, Sebastian was a centurion of the first cohort in the time of the emperor Diocletian (late 3rd - early 4th century). Denounced because he exhorted his friends Mark and Marcellinus to remain steadfast in their faith, by order of the emperor he was tied to a post in the centre of the Field of Mars, and served as a living target for the archers who shot him. But he did not die for it. The widow Irene, who wanted to raise his body for burial, noticed that he was still breathing, bandaged his wounds and saved his life. After he was cured, he reappeared before Diocletian to reproach him for his cruelty towards the Christians. He was then scourged, beaten to death in the circus and his corpse was thrown into the Maximian sewer.
