« Je disparaîtrai et je n’aurais rien caché »
- Hervé Guibert
sothisbitchtumblr: I have never had a work of art bring tears to my eyes until i beheld this piece in the Vatican Museum of Art. Its not any religious reason, obviously since this is me we’re talking about, but something simpler. Trophime’s treatment of the act of Irene pulling the arrows from St Sebastian’s body is awe inspiring. The use of light in the painting is also something to stare in wonder at. I shall always remember this piece.
