About the piece
Painted in 1869, Gustave Moreau's 'The Martyred Saint Sebastian' exemplifies the artist's luminous and textured Symbolist style. The composition centers on the vulnerability of the saint, juxtaposed against the intricate detail of the towering foliage and the somber, decorative grace of his attendants.
