About the piece
Painted around 1625 by Biagio Manzoni, this work exemplifies the Caravaggesque tradition of the Italian Baroque. The composition focuses on the brightly illuminated figure of Saint Sebastian, whose muscular form is contrasted against the deep shadows and the dark figures of his executioners, creating a scene of profound dramatic tension.
