"Saint Sebastian Attended by Angels" is a notable painting by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, created in the early 17th century, around 1600. This small-scale oil on copper artwork measures 25 x 20 cm and is renowned for its meticulous detail and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The painting depicts the Christian martyr Saint Sebastian, an early Christian saint and martyr, who, according to tradition, was killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians.

In Elsheimer's rendition, Saint Sebastian is shown tied to a tree, having been shot with arrows, a common representation of his martyrdom. The scene is set at night, illuminated by a supernatural light that highlights the saint's pained yet serene expression and the attentive angels surrounding him. These angels are portrayed as they tenderly attend to Sebastian, some removing the arrows from his body while others gaze upon him with compassion.

Elsheimer's work is significant for its combination of Northern European and Italian influences, which is evident in the detailed naturalism of the figures and landscape, as well as the dramatic use of light, respectively. The painting is also notable for its influence on other artists, particularly in the way Elsheimer handles the nocturnal scene, which would later inspire Baroque artists such as Rembrandt.

"Saint Sebastian Attended by Angels" is held in high esteem for its artistry and its impact on the development of Baroque painting. The work is part of the collection at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance within the oeuvre of Adam Elsheimer.
