ORRENTE, Pedro
(b. ca. 1580, Monte Alegre, d. 1644, Valencia)

St Sebastian

c. 1616
Oil on canvas, 306 x 219 cm

Orrente painted the St Sebastian during his first stay in Valencia for a private chapel in the Cathedral. The painting contains a crepuscular landscape in the Venetian manner and figures that might be derived from the work of the followers of Caravaggio in Naples.
