About the piece
This powerful oil painting, created around 1628 by a Neapolitan master, depicts the martyr Saint Sebastian as a contemplative youth. The artist employs intense tenebrism, a hallmark of the period, contrasting the luminous skin of the figure against a deep, shadowed background to create a sense of dramatic presence and spiritual focus.
