Description
Italiano: Il San Sebastiano di Mattia Preti, realizzato fra il 1653 e il 1656, è un quadro (olio su tela, cm 240 x 169) esposto a Napoli nel Museo di Capodimonte (inv. S.N.), nella Galleria Napoletana. Il dipinto, eseguito su incarico delle suore per la chiesa di San Sebastiano a Napoli, in sèguito a critiche e forti pressioni, fu infine rimosso e portato nella cappella privata di una famiglia nobile all'interno della chiesa di Santa Maria dei Sette Dolori (cui appartiene tuttora il dipinto), dove rimase fino al 1974, anno in cui la tela è stata trasferita al Museo di Capodimonte per motivi di sicurezza. Databile all'inizio del soggiorno napoletano, 1657 circa, la tela rivela lo studio della lezione caravaggesca, soprattutto della luce che lascia emergere dall'ombra corpi solidi torniti plasticamente, ma pittoricamente esaltati dall'uso di tonalità grigio-argentee. Lo scorcio trasversale conferisce alla composizione, insieme alla definizione dei piani luministici, potenza e dinamismo.
