The artwork named “St Sebastian” by the renowned artist Tintoretto, was created between 1579 and 1581. This religious painting, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Mannerism (Late Renaissance) art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 250 x 80 cm.
This piece depicts the Christian martyr St. Sebastian, rendered with a classical, muscular physique, enveloped in a dramatic and somber atmosphere characteristic of Mannerist style. The saint’s body is pierced by arrows, emblematic of his martyrdom, and his expression conveys a profound sense of suffering and divine fortitude. The artwork is framed by ornate columns, adding to its grandeur and solemnity.
