Saint Sebastian 1615 - 1620

This dramatic painting titled "Saint Sebastian" by Spanish artist Eugenio Cajés (1575-1634) depicts the iconic martyr tied to a tree and pierced by arrows. The Saint's pained expression and the blood dripping from his wounds create a powerful image of suffering. The scene is set against a backdrop of stormy clouds and a gathering crowd, enhancing the sense of drama and urgency. This artwork, now held at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, is a testament to Cajés’ skill in capturing the intensity of religious themes in his paintings.
