Author: Laue, Georg & Virginie Spenlé: Title: Edition V: Der Meister der Sebastiansmartyrien / The Master of the St. Sebastian's Martyrdoms. New discoveries and catalogue raisonné.
Description: 2018, (23 x 28,cm), 94 pp. / German & English text, full colour ills., paperback. Little is known about the Master of the St Sebastian's Martyrdoms except that he worked in Vienna for the emperor Ferdinand III (r. 1637-1657) and that he was one of the most influential artists specialised in small-scale sculptures of ivory and wood in the mid-17th century. His identity being unknown to this day, he was named after two ivory reliefs showing the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian that are on display at the Kunstkammer of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and at the Oberösterreichisches Museum in Linz and that were obviously executed by the same artist.
