Arrow Collar Red Head Representation Saint Sebastian Three Quarter Aquiline Aureole Portraiture
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of a Young Man or Portrait of a Young Man represented as Saint Sebastian" transports us back to the late 15th century. Painted by Albrecht Dürer, one of the most renowned German artists of his time, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 52x40 cm and is currently housed in the Galleria dell'Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, Italy. The young man depicted in this artwork exudes an air of mystery and allure. Seated with a three-quarter view, he wears a luxurious fur collar that adds elegance to his attire. His striking aquiline features and fiery red hair further enhance his charismatic presence. What makes this portrait truly intriguing is its dual representation: the young man also embodies Saint Sebastian. This transformation was added at a later date, resulting in an amalgamation of two distinct identities within one image. The arrow piercing through his side symbolizes the martyrdom suffered by Saint Sebastian. As we gaze upon this painting, we are captivated not only by the skillful execution but also by the serene landscape backdrop that envelops our subject. With an aureole above his head and a gentle smile playing on his lips, he effortlessly balances both earthly beauty and spiritual devotion. Dürer's mastery shines through every brushstroke as he captures both physical likeness and inner essence in this remarkable piece from art history's treasure trove.
