About the piece
Created in 1814 by Johann Friedrich Overbeck, a founder of the Nazarene movement, this work exemplifies the group's revival of early Renaissance purity. The painting depicts the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian with a focus on idealized anatomical form and tranquil expression, framed by a detailed architectural archway that opens onto a peaceful distant cityscape and rolling hills.
