St. Sebastian, Martyr from the Veronese Collection. Lightly hand-painted cold cast bronze, 8inches.
According to tradition, St. Sebastian was ordered to be killed by arrows for converting his fellow Roman soldiers to Christianity. He was left for dead by the archers but was rehabilitated by a pious widow. Following his recovery, he presented himself to Diocletian and was subsequently beaten to death.
As a protector from the bubonic plague, Sebastian was formerly one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Sebastian is the patron saint of archers, pin-makers, athletes (a modern association) and of a holy death.
