"Selbstporträt als Heiliger Sebastian" (Self-Portrait as St. Sebastian) is a notable work by the Austrian expressionist painter Egon Schiele, created in 1914. This painting is one of several self-portraits by Schiele, in which he casts himself in the role of a martyr, specifically St. Sebastian, a Christian saint often depicted in art as bound and pierced by arrows. Schiele's portrayal reflects his fascination with themes of suffering, sanctity, and the artist's own psyche.

The painting is characterized by Schiele's distinctive style, marked by elongated, contorted figures and a raw, emotive use of line and color. In "Selbstporträt als Heiliger Sebastian," Schiele presents himself with his body slightly twisted and his hands tied above his head, evoking the traditional iconography of St. Sebastian's martyrdom. However, Schiele's rendition lacks the arrows typically shown in such depictions, which may suggest a more metaphorical interpretation of suffering and vulnerability.

The work is emblematic of Schiele's intense self-scrutiny and his preoccupation with mortality and redemption. It also reflects the broader cultural currents of early 20th-century Vienna, a time and place marked by psychological exploration and a breaking away from traditional artistic norms. "Selbstporträt als Heiliger Sebastian" is considered an important piece within Schiele's oeuvre, offering insight into his personal mythology and the innovative spirit of his art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting remains a subject of interest for scholars and enthusiasts of expressionism and continues to be exhibited in art museums and galleries, contributing to the enduring legacy of Egon Schiele's contribution to modern art.
