Antique Carved Saint Sebastian Sculpture
Antique limewood carving of Saint Sebastian. German.
Large, extremely detailed and high quality carving in the round, the martyr depicted tied to a tree trunk with arrows piercing the body.
Displays very impressively.
The sculptor has carved the date 1930 around the edge of the base.
Slight aging, but very good condition.
H: 69 × 19 × 18.5 cm.
Sebastian (c. AD 255 – c. AD 288) was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to traditional belief, he was killed during the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He was, according to tradition, rescued and healed by Irene of Rome, which became a popular subject in 17th-century painting. In all versions of the story, shortly after his recovery he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result was clubbed to death. He is venerated in the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.
In art the saint is often depicted as a handsome semi-naked youth, his muscular bare torso pierced with arrows, he seemingly derives spiritual pleasure from his pain and martyrdom as a tortured soul.
