Design for an Altarpiece with a Figure of St. Sebastian 1741

This design for an altarpiece, created by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer in 1741, demonstrates the artist's mastery of Rococo style. The design features a dramatic, elaborate altarpiece with a central figure of Saint Sebastian, a popular subject for religious art. The Rococo flourishes in the details of the altar, with the intricate carvings and the playful use of curves and counter-curves, creating a sense of movement and dynamism. Feuchtmayer’s designs were renowned for their decorative opulence and the use of rich materials and colors. The design's elegance and grandeur would have been well-suited for a grand church or cathedral.
