"St. Sebastian (probably with Perugino) 1500-01" is an early work attributed to the Italian Renaissance master Raphael, created around 1500-1501. This painting is notable for its depiction of Saint Sebastian, a Christian martyr who is often represented in art as a young man pierced by arrows. The attribution to Raphael is based on stylistic analysis and historical context, though some art historians suggest that the work may have been a collaborative effort with his teacher, Pietro Perugino, or heavily influenced by Perugino's style.

Raphael, born Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino in 1483, was a prodigious talent who became one of the most important artists of the High Renaissance. His early works, including "St. Sebastian," exhibit the influence of his mentor Perugino, who was a leading painter of the Umbrian school. Perugino's impact is evident in the serene expression, delicate features, and graceful posture of the saint, as well as in the meticulous attention to detail and harmonious composition.

The painting portrays Saint Sebastian as a youthful, almost androgynous figure, embodying the Renaissance ideal of beauty. He is depicted with a calm and contemplative expression, despite the arrows that pierce his body, symbolizing his stoic acceptance of martyrdom. The background is typically Umbrian, featuring a serene landscape that enhances the overall sense of tranquility and divine grace.

"St. Sebastian" reflects Raphael's burgeoning skill in rendering the human form and his ability to convey deep emotion through subtle facial expressions and body language. This work is an important piece in understanding Raphael's artistic development and his transition from the influence of Perugino to the creation of his unique style that would later define his masterpieces in Rome.

The painting is housed in the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and historical value.
