About the piece

Painted by Charles Galleri in 1603, this oil on canvas captures the six consuls of Narbonne in a moment of communal piety. The figures, dressed in brilliant scarlet robes, surround a central depiction of Saint Sebastian, while their individual heraldic shields are displayed prominently above. This work serves as both a religious devotion and a significant historical record of French civic governance in the early modern period.
