"Saint Irene Tending to Saint Sebastian" is a a 17th-century oil painting by Dirck Baburen, a Dutch artist associated with the Utrecht school of Caravaggisti. The subject matter of the painting is a well recognized Christian narrative, featuring Saint Irene and Saint Sebastian.

In the painting, Saint Irene, accompanied by her maid, is shown healing the wounds of Saint Sebastian. Following the narrative, Saint Sebastian was a loyal servant of Emperor Dioclet, but was persecuted after his conversion to Christianity. Shot with arrows and left for dead, Saint Sebastian was later found and healed by Saint Irene. Baburen vividly represents this scene, capturing the emotions of the characters with dramatic lighting and realistic, intense details.

In this work, Baburen incorporates the evocative use of light and shadow that was characteristic of Caravaggisti. His bold, vibrant color palette emphasizes the focal figures, casting Saint Irene, Saint Sebastian, and the maid in high relief against the darker background. The moment is further intensified by the sympathetic expressions on the figures' faces, lending an empathetic quality to the narrative.

As with many pieces of religiously themed art from the Baroque era, this painting likely served not only as a work of visual beauty but also as a didactic piece, aimed at teaching its viewers about the lives and sacrifices of Christian martyrs. This influential piece resides today in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

Despite the popularity of the Caravaggisti movement in the 17th century, Baburen's work was largely forgotten until the 20th century. His subsequent rediscovery led to a reevaluation of his work, with "Saint Irene Tending to Saint Sebastian" now seen as one of his masterpieces. It stands as an important example of Dutch Baroque painting and remains central to studies of this period and style.
