Unknown artist (Italian, 19th century?)
Martyrdom of St Sebastian
Oil on canvas, 200.66 x 121.92 cm
Presented by Archbishop Goold, 1867
Unidentified, present location unknown
Like * Unknown (Italian 19C?) Italian Boy and Cat {1856} Loc? [PA], also presented by Goold in 1867, this painting is listed in NGV 1894, but not NGV 1905, and is again very difficult to identify without a photograph. It may have been a 19th-century painting in neo-Baroque style.
