2025-10-01 12:05 - 12:25 | Haggerty Museum of Art, 1234 W Tory Hill St, Milwaukee, WI, 53233, United States
Presented by Dr. Kirk Nickel, Curator of European Art
Depictions of St. Sebastian have a reputation for being a bit sexy, and Jean-Simon Berthélemy’s painting of the Roman soldier’s martyrdom is no exception. This makes the picture an ideal centerpiece for the Haggerty’s fall exhibition “Capture the Senses: Attraction and Horror in Early Modern Art.” In a 20-minute discussion, Dr. Nickel will draw attention to the painting’s fascinating break with convention and share the curatorial sleuthing that led to the artwork’s reattribution.
