EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Martyrdom Saint Sebastian" by Simon Bening, a renowned Flemish artist from the 16th century. The piece, created in Bruges, Belgium around 1535-1540, is a testament to Bening's exceptional talent and attention to detail. Using tempera colors, gold paint, and ink on parchment, Bening brings to life the tragic story of Saint Sebastian. The leaf measures approximately 13.7 x 10 cm (5 3/8 x 3 15/16 inches), making it a small yet impactful masterpiece. In this depiction of martyrdom, we witness the intense suffering endured by Saint Sebastian as he bravely faces his executioners. His body pierced with arrows and bound to a tree trunk, he embodies both strength and vulnerability. Bening's meticulous brushwork captures every nuance of emotion on Saint Sebastian's face while also showcasing his technical prowess in rendering intricate details such as fabric textures and architectural elements in the background. The use of gold paint adds an ethereal glow to the scene, elevating its spiritual significance. This print allows us to appreciate Bening's craftsmanship up close while preserving this historical artwork for generations to come.
