EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pietro Perugino's masterpiece, "Saint Sebastian". Painted around 1485, this tempera on panel artwork measures an impressive 174x88 cm and is housed in the National Museum of Stockholm, Sweden. The painting depicts the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, a courageous Roman officer from the 3rd century who faced persecution for his unwavering Christian faith under Emperor Diocletian. In a powerful display of devotion and sacrifice, Sebastian's fellow soldiers shot him with arrows as punishment. Miraculously surviving this brutal ordeal, he ultimately succumbed to martyrdom. Perugino's skillful brushwork brings this poignant scene to life. The composition features a striking landscape backdrop against which Saint Sebastian stands bound to a tree in nothing but a loin cloth. His wrists are tied above his head while arrows pierce his flesh—a testament to both physical suffering and unwavering faith. This remarkable painting not only captures the essence of Saint Sebastian's story but also exemplifies the Italian Renaissance style that Perugino was renowned for. With its meticulous attention to detail and emotive portrayal of religious themes, it serves as a profound reminder of the power of belief even in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this timeless work by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time—witnessing an extraordinary moment where faith triumphs over pain and persecution.
