St. Sebastian tied to a Column 1510

Pietro Perugino's "St. Sebastian tied to a Column" from 1510 depicts the saint bound to a column and pierced by arrows. The scene is set within an architectural framework, creating a sense of depth. The saint's contorted pose and the dramatic use of light and shadow heighten the sense of suffering. The image serves as a powerful reminder of St. Sebastian's martyrdom, and his enduring symbol of strength and faith. Perugino's signature serene and harmonious style is evident, influencing generations of artists through his mastery of perspective and anatomy.
