About the piece
Painted circa 1610 by Cecco del Caravaggio, this dramatic work exemplifies the Italian Baroque style. The artist uses intense chiaroscuro to highlight the vulnerability of Saint Sebastian against the shadowed, gritty realism of his captors, including a soldier in meticulously rendered plate armor.
