Saint Sebastian is a 1610–1614 oil on canvas painting by El Greco, the last of his three portrayals of Saint Sebastian. It survives in two large fragments, both of which are in the Prado Museum; the top half was donated by the countess of Mora y Aragón in 1959 and the lower half was acquired in 1987.[1]
