Oil on canvas St. Sebastian 17th century - Follower of Carracci

Bring an authentic testimony of great 17th-century Emilian painting to your collection with this extraordinary oil on canvas depicting Saint Sebastian, attributable to a follower of the Carracci family. A work of the highest quality, painted at the height of the era, it combines intense spirituality and refined painterly mastery. Saint Sebastian is depicted during his martyrdom, leaning against a stump, his body pierced by three arrows in evidence and his face turned upward in an expression of ecstasy and deep faith. The garish red drapery, vibrant and luminous, is a clear reference to the Emilian school, lending movement and dramatic force to the composition. The anatomical rendering, calibrated light, and emotional sensitivity refer directly to the Carracci tradition. The work is enhanced by a carved and gilded wooden frame, embellished with the symbols of Sanctification - crown, friezes and stars - that enhance its sacredness. Although not contemporary, the frame dialogues harmoniously with the painting. Frame size: h. 130 x 110 cm - Painting size: 77 x 61 cm. An ideal masterpiece for collectors, antiquarians and lovers of seventeenth-century sacred art, capable of embellishing any room with elegance and history.
