About the piece
Painted around 1780 by Augustin van den Berghe, this oil work showcases the dramatic chiaroscuro and idealized anatomical form characteristic of late 18th-century European art. The figure of Saint Sebastian is rendered with sculptural precision, bathed in a celestial light that contrasts sharply with the brooding shadows of the background, where two cherubim witness his martyrdom.
