Saint Sebastian (Latin: Sebastianus) was a Christian and blood-witness from Milan, born at Narbonne, in the third century AD. He was a soldier under Emperor Carinus and leader of the Praetorian Guard under Emperor Diocletian.
Sebastian converted to Christianity and fell into disfavour with the emperor as a result. Soldiers arrested him and riddled him with arrows on the Field of Mars.
Saint Sebastian is the patron saint of archers (many militia carry his name), soldiers, hunters, stonemasons, gardeners, tailors and firefighters, among others.
This portrait shows him naked with arrows in his belly and chest with an angel behind him.
