St Sebastian 1469-1474 Germany. The opportunity it offered to show a seminude man in a contorted pose made Saint Sebastianís martyrdom a popular subject among 15th-century artists. Here the German printmaker Martin Schongauer depicted the saint leaning serenely against a delicately rendered tree, despite the numerous arrows protruding from his body. Schongauer took an iconic, simplified approach to this common theme by barely suggesting the background landscape. Unlike his highly complex, detailed compositions such as Saint John the Evangelist on Patmos (1968.121), this print emphasizes the contrast between the graceful figure of Sebastian bound to the tree and the predominantly blank background..

Caliban (from "Twelve Characters from Shakespeare") May 20, 1775 Etched and published by John Hamilton Mortimer British Mortimer admired Salvator Rosa, absorbed aspects of his dramatic style, and sought British equivalents for his poetic subjects. This etching comes from a series devoted to leading Shakespearean characters, based on drawings exhibited at the Society of Artists in 1775. Merging the seventeenth-century genres of the character head and tête d'expression (expressive head), Mortimer's designs also incorporate aspects of history painting to convey the Bard's dramatic range. Attracted to tragic figures, the artist here portrays Caliban, the offspring of a witch, whom Prospero and Miranda befriend when first exiled to a remote island in "The Tempest." The figure's demonic fingers and goat-like ears point to the lustful nature that drove him to try to rape of Miranda, although his human torso, and lines of engraved text below the image, elicit our sympathy:"Do not torment me pr
