EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "St. Sebastian" created by Baccio da Montelupo in 1506. The wooden artwork, located at Abbazia di San Godenzo in Florence, Italy, is beautifully captured by photographer George Tatge for Alinari Archives. In this stunning image, we see the full length depiction of St. Sebastian, a revered saint and martyr from the Renaissance era. The attention to detail in the sculpture is remarkable - every muscle and contour of his body is expertly carved out of wood. The subject's nakedness adds a sense of vulnerability and raw emotion to the piece. St. Sebastian stands tall with an air of strength despite his suffering as he was famously tied to a tree and shot with arrows for his Christian beliefs. Tatge's skillful photography captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a profound spiritual presence within this artwork. The play between light and shadow enhances the texture and depth of the wooden sculpture, making it come alive before our eyes. This print serves as a testament to both Baccio da Montelupo's artistic talent and Tatge's ability to capture its essence through his lens. It invites viewers into a world where art transcends time, allowing us to appreciate the mastery behind this Renaissance masterpiece that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
