St sebastian

St Sébastien is probably the most depicted Saint. And the most depicted gay icon today. He is represented most of the times since the Renaissance as a young, slim, athletic, sensual, beautiful young man (even though during the first centuries he had another image, at least older). Maybe it is the reason he became a gay icon. Catedral de Se. Lisbon, Portugal. Photo by Brian McMorrow. Hundreds if not thousands of paintings, drawings, mosaics, engravings can be seen from St Sébastien…

Saint Sebastian by Jusepe de Ribera, 1636

St. Sebastian

Statue of St. Sebastian, carved in wood from Valgardena, finely decorated by hand and cared for in every detail. Various sizes available. This statue, an object of the highest quality, is the result of the meticulous work of skilled Italian sculptors from Trentino Alto Adige. All phases of design and construction are carried out in Italy in full respect for the environment. (article : ASK07210) Available sizes: cm 12 (4,72 inches) cm 20 (7,87 inches) cm 30 (11,81 inches) cm 40 (15,74 inches)…

Here, nothing violated the beauty of the body presented by Colacicchi, intensified by the raking light that arrives from the left, languid and and sensual in line with the modern reinterpretation activated in 1911 by Gabriele D’Annunzio’s Le martyre de Saint Sébastien.
