Lot 1774 | Italienischer Maler
(Tätig im 17. Jh. wohl in Rom)
Der Hl. Sebastian wird von Irene und einer Dienerin gepflegt
Szenische Darstellung der Heiligenlegende in abendlich gestimmter Landschaft mit dem an einen Baum gebundenen, als schöner, adonishafter Jüngling geschilderten Sebastian, dem gerade ein Pfeil aus dem Oberschenkel gezogen wird; im Himmel schwebend zwei Engel mit Märtyrerpalme und Lorbeerkranz. Wegen seines Bekenntnisses zum Christentum sollte der römische Legionär Sebastian auf Befehl des Kaisers Diokletian durch numidische Bogenschützen hingerichtet werden, überlebte jedoch zunächst durch ein Wunder. Von der frommen christlichen Witwe Irene und einer Dienerin gepflegt, kam er nämlich wieder zu Kräften. Da sich Sebastian allerdings erneut zu seinem Glauben bekannte, wurde er schließlich noch einmal hingerichtet und damit endgültig zum Märtyrer. Der Hl. Sebastian wurde zu einem der beliebtesten Themen in der europäischen Malerei der Renaissance und des Barock, insbesondere in Italien. Das vorliegende, monumental große Gemälde ist vermutlich von einem Maler in Rom geschaffen worden, beeinflusst durch Annibale Carracci und Caravaggio, wobei die Figurengestaltung des Sebastian auf ein genaues Studium der menschlichen Anatomie schließen lässt. Öl/Lwd., doubl.; 158,5 cm x 198,5 cm. Rahmen.
Italian painter active 17th C., probably in Rome. Oil on canvas, relined.
