In 1497, the artists Josse Lieferinxe and Bernardo Simondi depicts, in three paintings, the last days of St. Sebastian's life--i.e., the piercing of arrows in which a calm, resigned martyr is shown (See: Figure 10); the nursing by St. Irene in which she appears garbbed in the robes of a nun (See: Figure 11); and the violent, clubbing to death of the martyr-saint (See: Figure 12). It is of interest to note that the piercing of arrows far exceeds the depiction of the clubbing as a subject in the life of St. Sebastian. The nursing of St. Irene is depicted in numerous paintings particularly after the mid XVI^th Century.
