Der heilige Sebastian
Peter Paul Rubensum 1618
Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
Berlin, Deutschland
Es handelt sich vermutlich um jenen »Sebastian«, den Rubens dem englischen Kaufi nteressenten 1618 als »Blüte seiner Sachen« angepriesen hatte. Damals wurde das etwas ältere Bild noch einmal übergangen. In die überlebensgroße Gestalt des Märtyrers sind Erinnerungen an Antiken, Mantegna und Tizian eingeflossen.

- Künstler Informationen: Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish Baroque painter in the 17th century who mainly created religious works and portraits. He received a humanist education and studied under the late Mannerist artists Adam van Noort and Otto van Veen. He finished his apprenticeship in 1598 and started his career as an independent master. He lived in Italy for nine years (1600-1609), where he was influenced by Titian, whose impact is reflected in such works as 'The Fall of Man' (1628-29). After his return to Antwerp he lived and worked there until 1622, when he was called to Paris to create works for the Luxembourg Palace. He subsequently travelled to Spain and England where his diplomatic services were highly appreciated. Gout-ridden he died in Antwerp. He is classified as a representative of a style that emphasized movement, colour and sensuality. Rubens is known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes and history paintings that are characterized by mythology and allegory. One of his best known images is 'The Artist and His First Wife, Isabella Brant in the Honeysuckle Bower' (1609-10).
