Saint John the Baptist, Saint Fabian and Saint Sebastian
Miguel Ximénez·1494
Historical Context
Miguel Ximénez, who was a leading painter of the Aragonese school in Zaragoza, often collaborating with Bernat on altarpiece commissions, created this work around 1494, now in Barcelona's Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. The depiction of saints was fundamental to the devotional culture of the fifteenth century, with each saint's iconographic attributes carefully codified to ensure proper identification.
Technical Analysis
The figure's identifying attributes are rendered with iconographic precision, while subtle variations in pose, expression, and drapery treatment distinguish this depiction from workshop standard formulas.
