Question

A triptych centered on this figure by Giovanni del Biondo anachronistically depicts soldiers wearing Mongol headdresses. The inscription “nothing is eternal except God: the rest is smoke” appears on a parchment around a candle in a 1506 painting of this figure. This figure sits on a red and gold cloth while being tended to by a female saint in a painting by an Utrecht Caravaggist. This red-clad figure is accompanied by two angels on the panel left of the Isenheim Altarpiece’s crucifixion scene. A painting by (*) El Greco shows this (-5[1])saint atypically adopting a kneeling posture, while Hendrick ter Brugghen (-5[1])showed him being tended to by Irene. Before (-5[1])working in Mantua, an artist who decorated the Camera degli Sposi painted this saint against the backdrop of a Roman column after recovering from the plague. For 10 points, Andrea Mantegna depicted the martyrdom of what saint shot by arrows? ■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: Saint Sebastian [accept The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian; accept Saint Sebastian Tended by Saint Irene]
