O soše
Moderno’s Saint Sebastian, a sculpture of about 1500 in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, sets the pierced martyr among antique architectural motifs. A Corinthian capital tops the central column; a damaged pier bears Mars and an eagle, while another has horsemen surrounding Venus. Moderno encountered these forms in Rome. Born in Verona, he combined Roman monumentality with northern Italian influences, including the humanism of Ferrara’s court. Sebastian’s muscular, twisting, partly clothed body retains the Renaissance ideal of bodily beauty despite the arrows of his torture.
Slovy muzea
The Corinthian capital on the central column, the broken pier with reliefs of Mars and an eagle, and the pier at left with equestrian groups around an image of Venus are all ancient motifs Moderno encountered in Rome. Originally from Verona, Moderno combined this monumental classicism of Rome with his Northern Italian roots, particularly the interest in humanism he absorbed at the court of Renaissance Ferrara. Despite the torture of arrows piercing Saint Sebastian's body, the strong musculature and graceful twist of his seminude body reflect the Renaissance ideals of beauty befitting a holy martyr.
