This is a reproduction of “Sebastian und die Frauen” of 1746 by Paul Troger.  The artist was forty-eight when he created this masterpiece having been born in the Tyrol.  He began his apprenticeship at the age of sixteen and painted his first fresco in 1722 when he was twenty-four.  His patron sent him for four years to Italy where he perfected his style and returned to Austria in 1726.  Two years later he moved to Vienna where his work became the bridge between Baroque and Rococo tastes.  He died in 1762 and this work in the Austrian Belvedere Gallery in Vienna.
