Mantegna, Saint Sebastian
("I Don't Want to Leave You" by Royalty Free Music Crew) [Voiceover] The nude had been off limits for 1000 years.발음듣기
[Voiceover] In the middle ages, the only opportunity the artists had to paint or sculpt the nude, was to do Adam and Eve.발음듣기
But with the renaissance, we have this renewed interest in the human body, and artists looking for opportunities to paint it.발음듣기
And it's this tall, thin, painting, that is completely improbable, and in some ways it is just an elaborate ruse to be able to paint the human body.발음듣기
Look at all the fragments of sculpture and architecture that come from his study of Ancient Rome.발음듣기
And of course the figure of Saint Sebastian himself looks like an Ancient Greek or Roman sculpture.발음듣기
According to legend, Saint Sebastian was in the employ of the ancient Roman Emperor Diocletian, who didn't know that Sebastian was a Christian.발음듣기
This was a time when rediscovering the body meant an investigation of the body from scratch.발음듣기
And the understanding of the body in the ancient world like Contrapposto, is just being rediscovered in this century.발음듣기
In fact, one could probably argue that the arrows themselves almost function as diagramming lines, that help us see the shifting axis of the body.발음듣기
Since Sebastian is being martyred by an Ancient Roman Emperor, at a time when Ancient Rome is at the height of its power.발음듣기
Here's an artist who is in part responsible for creating the art that we know of, as the Early Renaissance.발음듣기
And characteristic of that moment, we see someone who is giving us as much visual information as possible.발음듣기
Right, modelling so we've got a sense of the three-dimensionality of the body, of the light coming from the left.발음듣기
Perhaps we see the archers retreating on a road in the background, and a whole city that looks very much like an Ancient Roman city.발음듣기
