"Saint Sebastian Attended by Saint Irene" is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Francesco Furini, created in the 17th century. The artwork depicts the popular Christian narrative of Saint Irene of Rome attending to Saint Sebastian, who was known for surviving an execution attempt by arrows on the orders of the Roman emperor Diocletian. Furini's rendition of this scene is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of the Baroque period, and the sensual portrayal of the figures, which reflects the artist's interest in human anatomy and the tactile quality of flesh.

The painting captures the moment of tender care as Saint Irene, accompanied by a handmaiden, removes the arrows from Sebastian's body and tends to his wounds. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the muscular, almost lifeless body of Sebastian and the compassionate gestures of Saint Irene. Furini's work is noted for its emotional intensity and the delicate rendering of textures and skin tones, which contribute to the overall pathos of the scene.

Francesco Furini, born in Florence in 1604 and active during the first half of the 17th century, was known for his sensual and often erotically charged religious and mythological scenes. His style was influenced by the Florentine school and the legacy of artists like Caravaggio, whose chiaroscuro techniques Furini adapted to his own softer and more lyrical approach.

"Saint Sebastian Attended by Saint Irene" is considered an important example of Furini's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art in Italy. The painting not only reflects the religious fervor of the period but also the shifting attitudes towards humanism and the exploration of human emotion and physicality. It remains a significant work for study by art historians and enthusiasts, offering insight into the cultural and artistic context of 17th-century Italy.
