"St. Sebastian Tended by Irene and her Maid" is a notable oil painting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Terbrugghen, created in 1625 during the Dutch Golden Age. This work exemplifies the Caravaggisti style, characterized by dramatic chiaroscuro and realism influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio, whom Terbrugghen admired and emulated after his sojourn in Italy. The painting depicts the Christian martyr Saint Sebastian, who, according to legend, was rescued and healed by Saint Irene of Rome after being shot with arrows.

The composition focuses on the intimate moment of care, with Irene attentively removing an arrow from Sebastian's body, while her maid stands by with a vessel, presumably containing medicinal ointments or balms. Terbrugghen's mastery of light accentuates the physical and emotional pain of Sebastian, the compassion of Irene, and the quiet assistance of her maid. The use of light not only highlights the figures but also creates a sense of depth and volume, enhancing the painting's dramatic impact.

"St. Sebastian Tended by Irene and her Maid" is considered one of Terbrugghen's masterpieces and reflects his contribution to the Utrecht School, where he, along with his contemporaries, played a significant role in introducing Caravaggesque elements to Northern European art. The painting is admired for its combination of narrative detail, emotional resonance, and technical skill, making it an important work in the study of Baroque art and Terbrugghen's oeuvre. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges between Italy and the Netherlands in the early 17th century.
