Vittoria's most successful statue: "San Sebastiano", in San Salvatore

Speranza


In 1600, Vittoria reverted to the "DYING SLAVE" by Buonarroti, which inspired his most successful statue, the SAN SEBASTIANO in SAN SALVATORE, Venezia.

The magnificently modelled TORSO alone rests on the front plane of the block.

The slack legs are threaded backwards round the tree-trunk.

The ecstatic head is shown upturned.

THis shows a profound understanding of Michelangelo's style.
