De Naakte krijger is net als de Heilige Sebastiaan (eveneens in de collectie van het Groeningemuseum) een typisch academisch werk. Het monumentale schilderij toont een op de rug geziene naakte man met boog, schild en pijlenkoker. Gezien deze attributen wordt soms verondersteld dat de man geïdentificeerd kan worden met de soldaat die Sebastiaan met zijn pijlen doorboorde. De zeer bewogen lichaamshouding is rechtstreeks gebaseerd op het antieke Torso Belvedère in het Vatikaan.
Net als de Heilige Sebastiaan is dit werk niet door Suvée geschilderd, maar door zijn leerling Augustin van den Berghe. Hij maakte deze kopie waarschijnlijk tijdens zijn leertijd bij de meester in Parijs. Beide schilderijen komen via een onbekende herkomst in het museum van de Brugse academie terecht en worden met kunstpatrimonium van deze instelling in 1892 overgedragen aan de Stad Brugge.

Thank you for your interest in visiting the Sint-Janshuismolen. We would like to inform you about the limited capacity of the mill.
The Sint-Janshuismolen is not very large, and for safety reasons, we can only accommodate a maximum of 25 students per half hour. To ensure that all students can explore the mill, we will divide the class into two or three groups on-site.
A part of the group will have the opportunity to view the mill from the outside, while the other part can actually enter the mill. After a certain time, the groups will switch so that everyone has a chance to see and experience everything.
We want to ensure that all students have a valuable and educational experience during their visit to the Sint-Janshuismolen. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in following this arrangement.
