Barcelona Catalonia Crucifixion Depicting Joan Lower Mates Sebastian Tempera 14th 15th Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning work of art, titled "Saint Joan Mates: Saint Sebastian and Crucifixion," is a prime example of International Gothic art from the 15th century, hailing from Barcelona, Spain. Created using tempera on wood, the painting showcases the intricate detail and vibrant colors that characterize this artistic style. At the lower detail of this vertical composition, we find the image of Saint Sebastian, a beloved figure in Christian iconography. Known for his unwavering faith and endurance, Saint Sebastian was a Roman soldier martyred during the reign of Diocletian. He was tied to a tree and shot with arrows, but miraculously survived. Saint Sebastian's story is one of hope and resilience, making him a popular patron saint for those seeking protection against plagues and illnesses. In this painting, Saint Sebastian is depicted as a strong and youthful figure, his body taut with tension as he endures the painful arrows that pierce his flesh. The delicate folds of his cloak and the intricate details of his armor add to the overall beauty and complexity of the artwork. The upper portion of the painting shows the Crucifixion scene, with Christ on the cross surrounded by the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist, and other saints. However, the focus here is on Saint Sebastian, whose story of faith and perseverance continues to inspire and captivate viewers. This masterpiece is part of the extensive collection of the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, and serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region.
