The Madonna of Saint Sebastian, with the Virgin and Child, surrounded by angels, looking down at Saint Sebastian, Saint Germinianus, and Saint Roch 1847

Achille Désiré Lefèvre's 1847 lithograph "The Madonna of Saint Sebastian" depicts the Virgin Mary and Child, surrounded by angels, looking down at Saint Sebastian, Saint Germinianus, and Saint Roch. The image is a powerful representation of faith and divine intervention, with the Madonna serving as a symbol of hope and protection for the saints below. Lefèvre's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, making the figures appear both ethereal and tangible. This work, now held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring legacy of religious imagery in art.
