Depictions

Depiction is meaning conveyed through pictures. Pictures are made with various materials and techniques, such as painting, drawing, or prints (including photography and movies) mosaics, tapestries, stained glass, and collages of unusual and disparate elements. Pictures may be factual or fictional, literal or metaphorical, realistic or idealised and in various combination. Traditionally, depiction is distinguished from denotative meaning by the presence of a mimetic element. Mimesis (Ancient Greek: μίμησις from μιμεîσθαι) is a critical and philosophical term that carries a wide range of meanings, which include: imitation, representation, mimicry, imitatio, nonsensuous similarity, the act of resembling, the act of expression, and the presentation of the self.

	Diocletian condemned Sebastian for his betrayal of Rome, and commanded him to be led to the field and there to be bound to a stake and shot with arrows. Sebastian was a captain of the Praetorian Guard under Diocletian and Maximian, who were unaware that he was a Christian.





	Saint Sebastian (died c. 288) was a Christian saint and martyr, who is said to have been killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians. He is commonly depicted in art and literature tied to a post and shot with arrows.





	The archers shot at him till he was as full of arrows as an urchin (hedgehog), leaving him there for dead. Miraculously, the arrows did not kill him. The widow of Castulus, Irene of Rome, went to retrieve his body to bury it, and found he was still alive. She brought him back to her house and nursed him back to health.
