According to legend, Sebastian was an officer of the imperial guard of the Roman emperor Diocletian. This sculpture shows Sebastian’s fate when it was revealed that he was a Christian: he was sentenced to execution, bound to a stake, and shot with arrows. Left for dead, his wounds were healed by Irene, the widow of another martyr. When he again appeared before the Emperor, Sebastian was ordered beaten to death.
This statue may once have been part of the high altar of the Cistercian abbey of Fürstenfeld, a town near Munich, Germany. The detailed and vigorous carving of Sebastian’s face, the elegance of his posture, and the ornamental drapery, with its elaborate folds and angles, are characteristics of the Gothic style as it manifest in southern Germany.

Flanked by angels carrying censers, God the Father makes the sign of benediction. Angels gather blood from Christ’s wounds into chalices, emphasizing the liturgical significance of the scene. The dove representing the Holy Ghost has been lost. This piece was originally polychromed, or painted, and formed the central element of an elaborate altarpiece.

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary was Queen of Thuringia in the early 1200s. She was an advocate of the poor and gave herself entirely to serving the hungry, weak and feeble. She distributed alms in all parts of her royal territory, even giving royal robes and ornaments to the poor. In order to care personally for the unfortunate, she built a hospital and visited the inmates daily to attend to their needs. In art, she is frequently shown carrying a loaf of bread and a jug of wine, references to her devotion to feeding the hungry.
