St Sebastian attributed to Pietro Tacca (1577-1640) Florence circa 1610-1615. Bronze figure, gilt bronze. All traces of the arrows that, according to legend, pierced the martyr Sebastian are missing here. The drama of this sculpture is concentrated entirely in the pose of the sensual idealized nude body. The tormented Sebastian has lost consciousness and hangs limply against the trunk of the tree to which he is bound by one wrist.
