Plaster painting, story

[Eugen40]

And in his hand a hero that?
Broken Arrow?
 
Then it is a theme of the fallen angels:

boom is not broken, they just two pieces.
Perhaps the author was mistaken paintings depicting two instead of one broken

[Игорь Гурьев]

I'm sorry: what was on the head of the hero right?

Excuse me: what was on the head of the hero right?

replaced before the subject of the photo, that's a large fragment ....


PS
Boom something strange

[Сима]

No, it's not a halo.
A bird - still an Eagle.
Type "Feeding Zevesova eagle."
But no Zeus - beardless.

if not a halo, and the helmet (like the angels)?, which is removed, there is sort of like the fingers are visible

[Игорь Гурьев]

Perhaps in his hand does not reach, and lightning?

Then, like Zeus, but Zeus, as there are right, to be a beard.


Next to it is possible to assume the winged Nike, his ally ...


But that's down there doing cherubs?

[Сима]

Igor Guryev, and that's all I expected, and Nick and lightning. By the way - can not this be Aegis - behind - because of an assumption . A baby on the left? But dolzhon be iconographic source - not attributes , and on track. Nick still has to be a little statuette, as I recall.

You correctly note the statue of Zeus , one of the seven wonders of the world , where in his hand was a statuette Nicky ( imagine holding a statue statuette ! Postmodernism !) .

But the Nike of Samothrace in the Louvre - it is quite a big girl.
More of us.

You remember correctly

Igor Guryev, Yeah I remember, do not hesitate. Both large and small to Nick. I'm on the iconography talking about. Seen such a Zeus that Nick was the next great aunt. By the way , about the subject of the back - still visible skin texture . But there should be the face of the Medusa (just in the wrong place it could be where the " halo "). If Aegis remember that it was not only an attribute of Zeus, but Athena and Apollo (which has already been mentioned ). Athena , thank God , is excluded.

what is the story depicted in the painting of plaster

I suppose that shows the plot of " Angel heals St . Sebastian " - see Attach. 1.

And in his hand a hero that ? Broken Arrow ?

Arrows , like, two. And with these arrows, there is some inconsistency . Boom - one or two - in the hand , in fact, are an attribute of St. . Sebastian (see Attach. 2 and 3), but as has been " held ", ascended to heaven saint. Meanwhile, this ascension, according to the Life , done after healing from the arrows (then considered a martyr , but not yet a saint) and even after the stoning , why he died, and only then was lifted up. The stage of the process of his ascension repeatedly reproduced in paintings like " The Apotheosis of St . Sebastian ", but even there he is depicted with empty hands.
