"San Sebastian" is a renowned Baroque painting by the Italian artist Guido Reni, depicting the Christian martyr Saint Sebastian, who is commonly shown in art as a young man tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows. Reni's interpretation of this subject is celebrated for its combination of physical beauty, emotional expressiveness, and spiritual transcendence.

Guido Reni (1575–1642), a prominent figure in the Baroque period, was known for his classical style that emphasized harmony and clarity. He painted several versions of Saint Sebastian throughout his career, each illustrating his mastery in capturing the human form and his ability to convey complex religious themes with elegance and sensitivity.

The most famous of Reni's San Sebastian paintings, dated to the early 17th century, typically portrays the saint as an almost ethereal figure, with his eyes often directed towards the heavens, suggesting his Christian faith and stoic acceptance of martyrdom. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to highlight the figure of Sebastian and his suffering, while also enhancing the dramatic effect of the scene.

Reni's San Sebastian is admired for its idealized beauty and the serene, almost serene expression on the saint's face, which contrasts with the violence of his impending martyrdom. The painting's composition, with its delicate use of color and light, reflects the influence of classical art on Reni's work and contributes to the enduring appeal of this iconic image.

The exact number of versions Reni painted of Saint Sebastian and their current locations vary, with some of the most notable examples found in collections such as the Palazzo Rosso in Genoa, the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, and the Capitoline Museums in Rome. These works continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance, representing a high point in the Baroque portrayal of religious figures and the enduring legacy of Guido Reni's artistry.
