EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hendrik Goltzius' masterpiece, "St. Sebastian". Painted in oil on canvas, this work of art beautifully captures the essence of Saint Sebastien's story. The image depicts a male figure bound to a tree, his body pierced by arrows as he endures martyrdom. Despite the intense suffering portrayed, there is an ethereal quality to the scene. An angel hovers above St. Sebastian, tenderly caring for him amidst his agony. This celestial being symbolizes divine intervention and offers solace during his ordeal. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricately tied ropes that bind him to the textured loincloth draped around his waist. Goltzius masterfully conveys both physical pain and spiritual resilience through this composition. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and intensity to the piece, emphasizing St. Sebastian's unwavering faith even in moments of extreme distress. Displayed at LWL - Westfaelisches Landesmueum in Muenster, Germany, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and devotion throughout history. It transports viewers back to the 16th or 17th century when religious themes were prevalent in art. This print allows us to appreciate Goltzius' skillful technique while contemplating St. Sebastian's remarkable story of martyrdom and ultimate triumph over adversity.
