BASSETTI, Marcantonio
(b. 1588, Verona, d. 1630, Verona)

St Sebastian

c. 1620
Oil on canvas, 89 x 117 cm
Private collection

The main subject of this Caravaggesque painting is a study of the male nude, and the arrows seem to have been painted in almost as an afterthought, thus turning the figure into a Saint Sebastian.
