The subject is here treated not only with great Solemnity, but also with the finest display of Talent. The attitude of the Saint is agreeably varied by the elegant disposition of the Limbs, and the flowing outline, which increases the appearance of bodily suffering, and is contrasted with the pious and resigned expression of the Countenance. The deep tone of the trunk and branches to which the Saint it bound, furnishes a shade that throws the body into high relief, and gives a wonderful splendour to the colouring (Rubens)|St. Sebastian transfixed with Arrows.
