"St. Sebastian (1456-59)" is a renowned early Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna, showcasing his mastery in perspective and detail. This artwork, created between 1456 and 1459, is part of a series of paintings by Mantegna that depict the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, a Christian saint and martyr who was killed during Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians. The painting is celebrated for its innovative use of perspective, meticulous attention to detail, and the emotional depth it conveys.

Mantegna's "St. Sebastian" is notable for its striking realism and the way it captures the texture and solidity of the saint's physique, set against a detailed architectural backdrop that showcases Mantegna's fascination with classical antiquity. The painting depicts Saint Sebastian, tied to a post and pierced by arrows, a subject that has been interpreted as a symbol of human suffering and divine transcendence. Mantegna's treatment of the subject matter reflects both his deep understanding of human anatomy and his ability to convey complex emotional states through his figures.

The work is a testament to Mantegna's skills as a draughtsman and his innovative approach to composition and perspective. He places the viewer at a low vantage point, looking up at the saint, which, combined with the precise rendering of architectural elements, creates a dramatic and immersive visual experience. This technique not only enhances the monumental quality of the figure but also reflects the artist's interest in the science of perspective, a key element of Renaissance art.

Originally commissioned for a chapel in Padua, the painting is now housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. It has been the subject of extensive scholarly research, which has explored its iconography, historical context, and Mantegna's technical and stylistic innovations. "St. Sebastian (1456-59)" remains a pivotal work in the study of Renaissance art, exemplifying the period's ideals of beauty, realism, and humanism.
