 Master of Chaource (Jacques Bachot) (Active in Champagne and Lorraine from 1493 to 1526), Saint Sebastian, Champagne, crca 1510-20 Limestone with traces of painting. Height 92 cm - Width 40 cm - Depth 40 cm. Courtesy CHIALE FINE ART.

This Saint Sebastian it is an expression of the very original art of a sculptor, who remained anonymous, that worked during the first quarter of the 16th century in france, expecially in the part of Champagne and Loraine. Some art historians identify the sculptor in the name of Jacques Bachot, a kind of universal artist born in Troyes, bookseller, embroiderer, painter, that is well documented between 1493 and 1530. The exceptional sepulcher of the Chaource church is attributed to him and a corpus of sculptures was thus gathered around this masterpiece. The style is defined by a great sensitivity in the expressions of the faces, expecally with the’ Sad Figures’, which are generally carved with a soft internal affliction with their slightly hollow cheeks, their two wrinkles vertical above the nose, their eyes with eyelids hemmed, their mouths at the drooping corners. Another characteristic is the presence on the broad fronts of the male figures of two wicks in hooks. The touching face of Saint John of La Mise au Tombeau by Chaource gives the most emblematic example . This beautiful St. Sebastian brings together many of these particular traits that allow it to be attributed without question to the great master of Champagne. We also recognize “round shoulders, knees with huge kneecaps, feet firmly on the ground” as described by the Dominican Eloi Devaux until the presence of tufts of plantain on the terrace which for some are a kind of signature.
