Martyrdom of St. Sebastian 

This dramatic painting by Jusepe de Ribera, a prominent Spanish Baroque artist, depicts the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The figure of Saint Sebastian, tied to a tree, is riddled with arrows, his body contorted in pain. The chiaroscuro technique, characterized by strong contrasts of light and dark, creates a heightened sense of drama and realism. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow highlights the suffering of the saint and draws the viewer's attention to the details of the scene, making it a compelling example of Baroque religious painting.
