Hl. Sebastian
Lindenholz, geschnitzt; wohl alte oder originale Fassung. Vollplastische Statuette des an einem Baum gefesselten, von drei Pfeilen in der Brust und in den Oberschenkeln getroffenen Märtyrerheiligen, der Schutzpatron gegen die Pest und Seuchen sowie der Soldaten, Schützenbruderschaften und vieler anderer Gruppen war. Geschildert wird er in dieser Skulptur als Jüngling mit nach links geneigtem Kopf, sehr lang auf die Schulter fallendem, gewelltem Haar und um die Hüften mit einem Tau gegürteten Lendentuch. Rücks. ansteigende, stark mit Bodenrelief geschnitzte Plinthe, oberhalb in den Baum übergehend. Künstlerisch herausragend ist der Hl. Sebastian als Halbakt in seiner ganzen, idealisierten, maskulinen, athletischen Schönheit und Lebendigkeit mit klar definierter, anatomisch getreuer Muskulatur dargestellt, die Füße in diagonaler Stellung voreinander gesetzt. Der triumphale Gestus der rechten, erhobenen Hand lässt ihn im Zuge der Gegenreformation auch zu einem ruhmreichen Kämpfer des Glaubens werden, dem keine Tortur etwas anhaben kann, wodurch die durchaus immanente lasziv-erotische Wirkung seines Körpers in den Hintergrund treten soll. Ger. besch.; H. 86,5 cm.
South German sculptor active 17th C.; Carved limewood sculpture, old or original polychromy. Minor flaws.
