"Saint Sebastian Attended by Saint Irene" is a Baroque-era painting by Dutch artist Jan van Bijlert, created in the 17th century. The artwork depicts the popular Christian narrative of Saint Irene tending to Saint Sebastian, who was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr. According to legend, Sebastian was discovered to be a Christian and was sentenced to death by Emperor Diocletian. He was tied to a stake and shot with arrows, but he miraculously survived. Saint Irene of Rome is often depicted in art nursing him back to health after his near-fatal ordeal.

Jan van Bijlert, a Utrecht Caravaggisti, was known for his genre scenes, portraits, and history paintings. His style was heavily influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio and his followers, which is evident in the dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the intense emotional expressions found in this work. "Saint Sebastian Attended by Saint Irene" is a prime example of Van Bijlert's adeptness at capturing the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey a narrative through the poignant interaction of figures.

The painting is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the Northern European interpretation of Caravaggist painting. It also provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the Dutch Golden Age, where such historical and biblical subjects were popular among patrons and art collectors. The work is held in high regard for its composition, the skillful rendering of the human form, and its emotional resonance.

"Saint Sebastian Attended by Saint Irene" remains an important piece within Jan van Bijlert's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to the Baroque period. The painting is also of interest to scholars examining the diffusion of Caravaggism across Europe and the ways in which local artists adapted the style to their own artistic traditions and tastes.
