About the piece
Created around 1726 after a composition by Simone Pignoni, this work is a powerful example of late Baroque lighting techniques. The painting focuses on the emotional and physical vulnerability of Saint Sebastian, using intense chiaroscuro to sculpt his form against the deep shadows of the background.
