Saint Sebastian - Lucio Massari Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Saint Sebastian, a Roman army officer in the old legend, lifts his face, eyes raised, curls loose around a brow picked out in pale strokes. Hand closed around an arrow, its barbed head pointing down and left. Lucio Massari, after years in the Carracci studio in Bologna, outlining the arm arching over his head in firm lines, curved and taut as a drawn bow.

His curls tighten into scrolls above a face tipped back, brow and nose picked out in pale highlight. Parallel strokes of bone-pale highlight pack the ribs, so the taupe paper supplies the middle tones and the chest swells out of that flat ground like a relief from a stone slab. Behind him, leaf clusters wander across the paper in loose dark loops, as free as the flourish on a scribe's capital letter.

On the right a thin sharp edge of dark line outlines the shoulder, and smudges drift behind it like incense smoke, soft and loose where the edge is crisp. Below the ribs the highlights grow sparse, and dark contour lines mark the belly in firm ridges, stacked like courses of masonry. Loose cloth hangs from his hips in slack folds, broad pale strokes running along it.

Homoerotic art returns to Saint Sebastian often, and this study offers a bare chest, lifted arm and upturned face of statuesque beauty. Across from a reading nook, the pale arch of the arm gives your eye a curve to rest on between pages. Opposite a bed, the raised chin and parted lips look like a breath drawn in, a quiet intake of life to see before you drift into dreamland.
