"The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian" is an etching by the French artist Jacques Callot, created in the early 17th century. This work is part of Callot's religious series and depicts the historical event of Saint Sebastian's martyrdom, a popular subject in Christian art. Saint Sebastian was an early Christian saint and martyr, who, according to tradition, was killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians. He is commonly portrayed tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows.

Jacques Callot (1592–1635) was a notable figure in the Baroque period, renowned for his etchings and engravings that captured a wide array of subjects, including religious scenes, landscapes, and the horrors of war. His works are characterized by their intricate detail, dynamic compositions, and the innovative use of the etching medium, which allowed for greater expressive possibilities in printmaking.

In "The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian," Callot showcases his mastery of the etching technique, employing a complex array of lines to create depth and texture. The composition typically centers on the figure of Saint Sebastian, who is often depicted as a youthful, serene figure amidst the violence of his execution. The surrounding figures, which may include his executioners and onlookers, are rendered with Callot's characteristic attention to detail and contribute to the narrative and emotional impact of the scene.

As with many of Callot's religious works, "The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian" reflects the artist's engagement with Counter-Reformation themes, emphasizing the dramatic intensity and piety of the saint's sacrifice. The etching not only serves as a devotional image but also as a testament to Callot's skill in manipulating light and shadow to evoke a sense of drama and movement.

"The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian" by Jacques Callot remains an important work within the artist's oeuvre and Baroque printmaking. It is studied for its artistic merit, its reflection of the religious and cultural milieu of the time, and its influence on the development of the graphic arts. The etching can be found in various art collections, museums, and galleries around the world, where it continues to be appreciated for its historical significance and aesthetic qualities.
