Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian is a 1505 oil by Meister von Sigmaringen, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The saint, with long, curly hair, stands with his eyes closed, wearing a white cloth wrapped around his waist. He is tied to a tree with a rope around his right wrist. A large, dark arrow pierces his left side, and a small arrow is lodged in his right arm. A group of four men, dressed in Renaissance attire, stand to the left, looking at the saint. One of them holds a bow, while another grasps a quiver full of arrows. In the background, a serene landscape unfolds, featuring a white church with a red roof, a blue mountain, and trees. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of solemnity and reverence.
