Martirio de San Sebastiano by Menageot, ca. 1804

This is a reproduction of Franoics Guilluame Menageot’s “Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian” of about 1804. Menageot was born in 1744 London and became a seminal figure in the development of French Classicism. He won the Prix de Rome in 1766 and became director of the French Academy in Rome in 1787. He died in Paris in 1816. This image is an unusual depiction of this oft-painted scene. Saint Sebastian has no arrows in his body which is a graphic essay on the male body. The original painting is in the Haggerty Museum of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
