About the piece
Created by Louis Tytgadt in the late 19th century, this oil painting depicts the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian with intense anatomical realism. The work is defined by its masterful use of light and shadow, where the pale luminosity of the figure emerges from a dense, moody background to create a powerful sense of drama and gravity.
