"Saint Sebastian Nursed by Saint Irene" is a Baroque painting by the Dutch artist Dirck van Baburen, completed around 1623 during the artist's mature period. This work exemplifies the Caravaggisti style, characterized by dramatic chiaroscuro and realism, which Baburen and other Utrecht Caravaggisti adopted after being influenced by the works of the Italian master Caravaggio. The painting depicts the moment from Christian hagiography where Saint Irene, accompanied by her maid, tends to Saint Sebastian after his initial martyrdom of being shot with arrows.

The canvas portrays the compassionate figure of Irene as she removes an arrow from Sebastian's leg, showcasing Baburen's skill in capturing the human form and the emotional intensity of religious scenes. The use of light accentuates the pain and suffering on Sebastian's face, while also highlighting the tender care provided by Irene. This subject was popular during the Counter-Reformation, as it emphasized themes of piety, mercy, and the intercession of saints.

"Saint Sebastian Nursed by Saint Irene" is notable for its combination of both the physical and spiritual aspects of the narrative, a hallmark of the Counter-Reformation's artistic agenda. The painting's provenance, stylistic elements, and its place within Baburen's oeuvre have been subjects of art historical interest. It remains an important example of Northern European Caravaggism and contributes to the understanding of cultural and artistic exchange between Italy and the Netherlands in the early 17th century. The work is currently housed in a notable museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
