St. Sebastian by Juan Sánchez Cotán is a notable example of Spanish Baroque painting, reflecting the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of chiaroscuro. Juan Sánchez Cotán (1560–1627) was a prominent Spanish painter known for his still lifes and religious works. Although he is primarily celebrated for his still lifes, his religious paintings, such as St. Sebastian, also demonstrate his exceptional skill and devotion to his craft.

The painting depicts St. Sebastian, a Christian martyr and saint, who is traditionally portrayed as a young man tied to a post or tree, his body pierced with arrows. This imagery is rooted in the hagiographic accounts of Sebastian's martyrdom during the Roman Empire, under the reign of Emperor Diocletian. According to legend, Sebastian was a captain of the Praetorian Guard who converted to Christianity and was subsequently sentenced to death for his faith. Despite being shot with arrows and left for dead, he miraculously survived and continued to preach Christianity until he was eventually clubbed to death.

In Cotán's rendition, the saint is depicted with a serene expression, embodying both physical suffering and spiritual transcendence. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the contours of Sebastian's body, emphasizing his muscular form and the dramatic tension of the scene. The background is typically dark, a characteristic feature of Cotán's style, which serves to focus the viewer's attention on the figure of the saint.

Cotan's St. Sebastian is a testament to the artist's ability to convey deep religious sentiment and human emotion through his work. The painting not only reflects the Baroque era's fascination with martyrdom and the human form but also Cotán's unique approach to composition and his skillful use of light to create a sense of depth and realism.
