EDITORS COMMENTS
This study head, titled "St. Sebastian" by the renowned Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), dates back to the 17th century. Van Dyck, a significant figure in European art history, is celebrated for his masterful portrayal of the human form and his ability to infuse his subjects with a sense of life and emotion. In this exquisite study, the young man's intensely expressive face, with its piercing gaze and slightly parted lips, suggests a deep contemplation or perhaps a moment of spiritual awakening. The model's hair, meticulously rendered in thick, lustrous curls, cascades down his shoulders, adding to the overall sense of vitality and energy. St. Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes and soldiers, is depicted here with a serene and introspective expression, his eyes fixed on some unseen horizon. This powerful and evocative image, executed in oil on canvas, is a testament to Van Dyck's extraordinary artistic skill and his enduring influence on the art world. Originally part of the Danish Royal Collection, this study head is now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), Copenhagen, and continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
