"Saint Sebastian" is a Baroque-era painting by Italian artist Giovanni Domenico Cerrini, also known as Il Cavalier Perugino. The work depicts Saint Sebastian, a Christian martyr and popular subject in art, who is traditionally shown tied to a tree and shot with arrows. Cerrini's interpretation of this theme is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the emotional expression captured in the saint's posture and countenance.

Giovanni Domenico Cerrini (1609–1681) was active during the 17th century in Rome and was known for his religious and mythological scenes, as well as his portraits. He was influenced by the works of Caravaggio and his followers, which is evident in his use of chiaroscuro and the naturalistic depiction of figures.

The painting "Saint Sebastian" is a testament to Cerrini's skill in blending the classical idealization of figures with the emerging Baroque emphasis on emotion and drama. The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, which is common for many works of this period. However, it is generally attributed to the middle period of Cerrini's career, likely painted in the 1640s or 1650s.

In the painting, Saint Sebastian is shown at the moment of his martyrdom, his body pierced by arrows, yet his face reflects a serene acceptance of his fate. This portrayal not only serves as a religious icon but also as a reflection of the Baroque era's fascination with the depiction of suffering and the exploration of human emotion.

"Saint Sebastian" by Giovanni Domenico Cerrini remains an important work for its artistic merit and its place within the context of 17th-century Italian art. It continues to be studied for its stylistic qualities and its representation of Baroque aesthetics.
