Martin Johann Schmidt, called Kremser Schmidt - Old Master Paintings

(Grafenwörth 1718–1801 Stein an der Donau),
Attending to Saint Sebastian,
oil on canvas, 107 x 77.5 cm, original frame (modified)

Provenance:
private collection, Lower Austria;
sale, Bassenge, Berlin, 30 November 2012, lot 6088;
private collection, Vienna

Kremser Schmidt treated the subject of Saint Sebastian repeatedly (cf. R. Feuchtmüller, Der Kremser Schmidt, Innsbruck/Vienna, 1989, nos. 196/1, 248, 249, 422, 423/1 and 450). The open manner of painting and the olive coloured priming from which the composition is economically modelled with glazes and impasto highlights suggests that the present painting dates from the 1790s.
