"Saint Sebastian" is a painting by the Florentine artist Francesco Botticini, who is known for his refined and delicate style. The painting depicts the Christian martyr Saint Sebastian tied to a tree and pierced with arrows. The scene is set against a landscape with a distant horizon, and the saint's body is depicted with striking realism. An angel, hovering in the upper left corner of the composition, holds a crown above Sebastian's head, a symbol of his martyrdom and his place in heaven. This work showcases Botticini's skill in depicting the human form and creating a devotional image that would have been popular with audiences in 15th-century Florence.
