"Saint Sebastian" is a notable work by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. This painting, created in the 17th century, depicts the Christian martyr Saint Sebastian, a popular subject in art, particularly during the Baroque period. Ribera, who spent most of his career in Italy, was renowned for his dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as his realistic depiction of human figures and their suffering.

The painting portrays Saint Sebastian, who according to Christian tradition, was an early Christian saint and martyr, tied to a tree and pierced by arrows, a punishment he endured for his faith. Ribera's rendition of the scene is characterized by its intense emotional expression and the stark contrast between the illuminated figure of the saint and the dark, brooding background. The artist's focus on the physical torment of Sebastian, with detailed attention to the anatomy and the play of light on his skin, exemplifies Ribera's skill in capturing the human form and the tactile quality of flesh.

Ribera's "Saint Sebastian" is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the Counter-Reformation's use of religious imagery to inspire piety and devotion among the faithful. The painting is also an important piece within Ribera's oeuvre, demonstrating his mastery of chiaroscuro and his influence on the development of Baroque painting in Naples, where he was an active figure.

The exact date of creation, current location, and provenance of this specific "Saint Sebastian" by Ribera may vary, as the artist revisited this theme multiple times throughout his career. Each version of "Saint Sebastian" by Ribera contributes to the understanding of his artistic evolution and the broader context of Baroque art. The painting is appreciated not only for its historical and religious significance but also for its powerful visual impact and the emotional connection it establishes with viewers.
