Saint Sebastian Tended by Saint Irene is a c.1634-1643 oil on canvas painting of Saint Sebastian having his wounds tended by Saint Irene. It is now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.[1]

It was previously thought to be the original composition of the subject by Georges de La Tour, but that is now thought to be the version of the work in the Louvre, with the Berlin work being a copy by his son Etienne with some retouching by Georges.
