About this work
A muscular nude man stands upright against tree trunks and dark branches, wrists apparently bound above his head, an arrow lodged in his neck and shoulder with blood running down his chest. A pale cloth is wrapped around his hips, and an ornate gilded vessel sits at his feet among the undergrowth.
Warm amber and red light falls across the body from one side, modeling the muscles in strong relief while the surrounding foliage and sky recede into near-black shadow with only a sliver of blue visible through the trees. The academic, smoothly blended brushwork and dramatic chiaroscuro lend the figure a suffering, martyred intensity.
