About Artwork: (Completed 1475) "A pale, clean-shaven young man, naked but for a loincloth, is bound to a tree. He gazes towards heaven, seemingly unaffected by the four arrows which pierce his upper body. This is Saint Sebastian, a Roman soldier who secretly converted to Christianity and was executed for his faith. This altarpiece was painted in the mid-1470s by two brothers, Antonio and Piero del Pollaiuolo, for the Pucci family chapel in Florence. The chapel was very large, so the altarpiece needed to be clear even from a distance. The artists used this large scale to show off their talent for perspective and for geometrical structure. The monumental figures of Sebastian and his tormentors make a giant triangle in the foreground, with the archers' arms and legs pressing up against the sides of the painting. Behind them the winding river draws our eyes into the blue distance." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
