Paintings Reproductions St. Sebastian by El Greco (Doménikos Theotokopoulos) (1541-1614, Greece) | WahooArt.com

El Greco (Doménikos Theotokopoulos) (i) - Oil (i) - Mannerism (i) St. Sebastian (1577-78) is a oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect El Greco. The St Sebastian is El Greco's first life-size male nude, and it is one of the key works of the artist's first years in Spain. The Saint abandoned after his martyrdom and presumed death. The style is that of around 1580. The frontal placing of the nude figure and treatment of the forms avoids a three-dimensional emphasis. The greater prominence of the setting - and of actual depth, in the vista on the right - compared with the paintings for Santo Domingo, the Cathedral and the Escorial, depends on the subject. The painting (191 x 152 cm) is in the collection of the Museo Catedralicio, Palencia.
