Documentary and formal sources and the preparatory drawings for this successful composition are also discussed. ; El autor identifica el Martirio de San Sebastián, lienzo de gran tamaño, que consta como copia desde hace tres siglos en la Casa Consistorial de Palma de Mallorca. No se tenía conciencia de su calidad ni del prestigioso origen que hoy localizamos en la colección del conde de Monterrey, contemporáneo del pintor. Estudia la devoción al santo en la isla y en España que explica el gran número de versiones, réplicas y copias vinculadas con el ambiente hispano. También trata las fuentes documentales y formales y los dibujos preparatorios de esta afortunada composición en la producción del maestro.
