About the piece

This evocative work by the Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens captures the moment Saint Sebastian is healed by a group of angels. Painted around 1601, the piece showcases Rubens' signature dynamic composition and luminous treatment of the human form. The polished armor in the lower left provides a striking textural contrast to the soft skin of the saint and the feathered wings of his celestial companions.
