San Sebastiano Triptych

The San Sebastiano Triptych is a 1464–1470 tempera-on-panel altarpiece by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini and others. Its central panel of saint Sebastian measures 127 by 48 cm, its lunette of God the Father and the Annunciation 59 by 170 cm and its side panels of John the Baptist and Antony the Great 103 by 45 cm. It is now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice.

It is one of four triptychs produced between 1464 and 1470 for Santa Maria della Carità, Venice, which had been rebuilt in the 1450s and whose altars were built between 1460 and 1464. The other three are the San Lorenzo, Madonna and Nativity Triptychs. They were probably all planned by Giovanni's father Jacopo. Giovanni's contribution to the actual painting was mainly to the saints on the San Sebastiano, setting an important precedent for his first major solo work, the San Vincenzo Ferrer Altarpiece. By the time of the Fall of the Republic of Venice all four works had been attributed to Bartolomeo Vivarini. During the French occupation they were broken up and re-mounted before being assigned to the Gallerie dell'Accademia, which took over the church of Santa Maria della Carità
