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. (-5[1])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 saint atypically adopting a kneeling posture, while Hendrick ter Brugghen showed him being tended to by Irene. Before working in Mantua, an artist who decorated the Camera degli Sposi painted this saint against the backdrop of a Roman (10[1])column after recovering from the plague. (10[2])For 10 points, Andrea Mantegna depicted the martyrdom (10[1])of what saint shot by arrows? ■END■ (10[1])

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