Un 'San Sebastiano' di Nicolas Régnier a Capodimonte

This article presents an unpublished 'Saint Sebastian' by Nicolas Régnier identified in the storerooms of the Capodimonte Museum in Naples. The powerful Classical component of this work, which constitutes a new addition to the substantial group of paintings of this subject by the Franco-Flemish artist, bears witness to the evolution of his naturalistic language in Rome within the circle of the Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani around the years 1622-1624.
