Barcelona Catalan Centuries Fabian Hermitage Painters Petersburg Sebastian Tempera Workshop 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite painting, dated between 1475 and 1500, depicts the venerable saints Sebastian and Fabian, created by the renowned Vergós workshop of the Catalan school. Originating from Barcelona during the 15th and 16th centuries, this family of painters left an indelible mark on the Gothic art scene. The painting, a beautiful fusion of tempera and oil on wood, is currently housed in the esteemed State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The composition showcases St. Sebastian, a martyr known for his unwavering faith and endurance, bound to a tree with arrows piercing his body. His youthful and serene expression conveys his deep devotion, while his nude form emphasizes the physical suffering he endured for his beliefs. In contrast, St. Fabian, the Bishop of Rome during the late 3rd century, is depicted in episcopal attire, holding a book and a model of the city of Rome. His tranquil expression and regal bearing reflect his spiritual and temporal authority. The Vergós workshop's mastery of light and shadow, as well as their intricate attention to detail, is evident in the delicate rendering of the saints' robes and the lifelike quality of their features. This painting is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Catalan school during the Gothic period and a precious addition to the vast collection of the State Hermitage Museum.
