Saint Sebastian - Mattia Preti Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Saint Sebastian lifts both bound wrists to the tree, and Mattia Preti paints the rope climbing the bark in loose loops, coarse as a stable halter, ending in a knot as hard as a knuckle. In Rome, Preti got to know Caravaggio's methods, and we see that here: a beam of light from the upper left crossing the raised forearm and chest, so the veins stand up like cords. The saint's face tipped up, eyes lifted and lips gently parted, warm light caressing his cheekbones, dark trunk and shadow pressing in beside him.

Arrows slant through the umber at the left of his body, straight and thin. Light pooling on his shoulder and chest with the sheen of a shell's inside, ivory on the shoulder and rose near the breastbone. Ribs and belly muscles rising in parallel ridges, thinning into shadow. Between his waist and the trunk, a slim wedge of sky shows, narrow as an arrow slit in a fortress wall and cool beside all that warm skin.

Painters often showed Sebastian bare and bound like this, and many have counted him a gay icon for centuries. At the turn of a stairwell landing, the raised forearm slants upward like the flight to Heaven, a diagonal your eyes can't help but follow. Above a bed, the shoulder's warmth and the strip of cool sky behind him send the eye swinging slowly between them, a gentle rhythm for the last look before sleep.
