This silver plaquette, created by Paulus Willemsz. van Vianen between 1585 and 1615, depicts the saints Sebastian, Catherine, and Roch. It is a beautiful example of Renaissance art, with its intricate details and lifelike figures. The plaquette shows the three saints in a dramatic scene, with Saint Sebastian lying on the ground, pierced with arrows, and Saint Catherine and Saint Roch standing over him. The work is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
