Description
The work "Wounded Heart" was painted by American artist Karen Francis with heavy impasto. The contrasting colors of red and black give it dramatic impact. Wearing a T-shirt with this image on it is perfect for letting people know how you feel, or the status of your relationship after a break-up. (Of course, sporting this image might make some people think you are prone to violence, and therefore dangerous and to be avoided. Definately something to consider before ordering.) This image is available as a print in a variety of sizes and formats, and other art products, from authorized publishers fineartamerica.com and pixels.com.
The painting brings to mind Saint Sebastian who lived between the third and fourth centuries. He was born in Gaul and later was in the Roman army. After he converted to Christianity, he refused to sacrifice to other gods and was first shot with arrows and later clubbed to his death. In the Catholic religion, Saint Sebastian is considered the protector of archers, athletes, upholsterers, and policemen. His name is of Greek origin. Depictions of Saint Sebastian have been been painted by many artists through time, usually showing him pierced by arrows. January 20 is the memorial date on the Catholic calendar for this martyr. He is invoked against the plague, according to research materials.
I would like to add, Praise God and the medical team who saved my life in 2017 with emergency heart surgery when I experienced severe health problems.
