7. The Catacombs of St. Sebastian
The catacombs of St. Sebastian are ancient burial places. They began in the 2nd
century AD to help persecuted Christians to bury their dead. They are many
kilometres deep in tunnels and have many storeys. They are very important for the
art history because they contain exemples of fresco and sculptures and because
the relics of many saints are buried there. Around the middle of the 2nd century AD
three mausoleums were built, many grafitti were painted dedicated to different
saints.
The Catacomb of Saint Sebastian is one of the smallest Christian cemeteries and
one of the least preserved. A basilica was built on this catacomb in the 13th century.
There one can find the crypt of Saint Sebastian, atributid to Bernini.

8. This painting is called Sain Sebastian. The
author is Giovanni Bazzi ( 1477-1549).
The dimensions of this painting are
145 x 204 cm. The year of this painting is 1576
and it can be found in Galleria degli Uffizi,
in Florence.
It is made of oil and on canvas.
On this painting we can see St. Sebastian.
He has arrows stuck in his body, and
he's wearing a pieco of cloth. Above him there
is an angel looking after him.
Behind him there is a beautiful landscape.
It is a realistic painting. The artist painted the people in a realistic way. The figures
give a sensation that they are static. The posture of the figures is rigid and not
harmonious, but well proportioned. The clothes have been painted realistically. The
compososition is not harmonious and there are strong contrants between light and
dark.
The Renaissance is this period, the painting was very religious and fantastic. It
represents a religious symbol because we can see an angel.
In my opinion, this painting is horrible. I don't like religious paintings, because in my
opinion they are invented. Angels don't exist. Nothing of this painting is beautiful.

The Pantheon was devoted to the Gods of ancient Rome. The world pantheon
derives from the Greek language. It means all Gods. The Pantheon is still
