Painting Description
"St. Sebastian Interceding for the Plague Stricken" is a notable work by Josse Lieferinxe, a Flemish painter active in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, primarily known for his religious compositions. This painting, executed around 1497-1499, is a vivid representation of St. Sebastian, a Christian saint and martyr, who was believed to protect people from the plague, a devastating disease that recurrently afflicted Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The artwork is part of the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.
The painting depicts St. Sebastian, easily identifiable by the arrows piercing his body, a common iconography associated with his martyrdom. He is shown interceding on behalf of the victims of the plague, who are depicted in various states of suffering around him. The composition is rich in religious symbolism and reflects the period's deep faith and frequent recourse to divine intervention during times of crisis. Lieferinxe's work is characterized by its detailed figures, emotional expressiveness, and the use of vibrant colors, which together create a powerful narrative about faith, suffering, and hope.
Josse Lieferinxe, also known as Master of St. Sebastian, was originally from the Southern Netherlands but spent a significant part of his career in Provence, France. His style bridges the Northern Renaissance and the Provençal school, combining meticulous detail and realism with a distinctive use of color and light. "St. Sebastian Interceding for the Plague Stricken" is a prime example of Lieferinxe's skill in conveying complex religious themes through art, making it an important piece for understanding the social and religious contexts of its time.
