About the piece
Created around 1620, this impressive work by Anthony van Dyck captures the moment before the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The composition is defined by its muscular, Rubens-inspired figures and a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro, with the pale figure of the saint standing in sharp contrast to the dark, atmospheric background and the bold red of the Roman standard.
