St Sebastian

Material, technology: oil, canvas

Size: 124.5 x 95.5 cm

Description: The dying St Sebastian pierced with arrows was a frequent theme of renaissance and baroque painting. The painter resigned from narration, concentrating on the psychological-physical characterization of the saint. The critical analysis of the style confirms the attribution to Giuseppe Vermiglio of Lombardy-Piedmont, who worked under the influence of Lombard painting uniting the late mannerist traditions with newer Italian achievements. This picture can be dated to the mid-1620s.
