EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Glyn Warren Philpot's masterpiece, "St Sebastian" created in 1932. Painted with oil on canvas, this artwork measures 91.5 x 72.4 cm and is held in a private collection. The photograph captures the essence of the original piece, courtesy of Christie's Images. Philpot's rendition of St Sebastian transports viewers to the early twentieth century, where they are confronted with an arresting depiction of the saint. The composition centers around St Sebastian himself, who stands as a symbol of martyrdom and resilience against adversity. The artist skillfully portrays every intricate detail: from the tension in St Sebastian's muscular body to his serene expression amidst pain and suffering. Arrows pierce through his flesh, emphasizing his sacrifice for faith and belief. These arrows serve as powerful symbols throughout history - weapons that have been used both offensively and defensively by infantry forces. In this context, they represent not only physical armaments but also spiritual strength and fortitude. Glyn Warren Philpot masterfully captures the duality between vulnerability and strength within St Sebastian's portrayal. Through this poignant artwork, he invites us to reflect upon our own struggles while finding solace in moments of divine grace.
