"St. Sebastian (detail 1)" c. 1515 is an exquisite work by the German Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald, also known as Mathis Gothardt. Grünewald is renowned for his emotionally intense and vividly expressive style, which stands in stark contrast to the more serene and harmonious works of his contemporaries, such as Albrecht Dürer. This particular piece, a detail from a larger composition, exemplifies Grünewald's mastery in capturing human suffering and divine grace.

The depiction of St. Sebastian, a Christian martyr who was traditionally invoked as a protector against the plague, is rendered with meticulous attention to anatomical precision and emotional depth. The saint is shown in a moment of profound agony, his body pierced by arrows, which was a common iconographic attribute symbolizing his martyrdom. Grünewald's use of chiaroscuro—the dramatic interplay of light and shadow—enhances the visceral impact of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the contorted expression of pain on Sebastian's face and the taut muscles of his body.

Grünewald's work is characterized by its intense color palette and dynamic compositions, and "St. Sebastian (detail 1)" is no exception. The artist employs a rich array of colors to highlight the saint's suffering, using deep reds and somber earth tones to evoke a sense of blood and earthiness, while the luminous quality of the skin tones suggests a divine light that transcends the mortal agony.

This detail is part of a larger altarpiece or panel, which would have been intended for devotional purposes, likely commissioned by a church or a wealthy patron. The exact provenance of this piece is not entirely clear, but it fits within the broader context of Grünewald's oeuvre, which includes the famous Isenheim Altarpiece, known for its harrowing yet redemptive imagery.

"St. Sebastian (detail 1)" c. 1515 stands as a testament to Matthias Grünewald's unique artistic vision, blending intense emotional realism with profound spiritual symbolism. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its powerful evocation of human suffering and divine intercession.
