Beerens turns people into animals. 

Pierced by an arrow,  Reni's St Sebastian does not seem to feel pain but spiritual rapture. There is no blood or gore, but only a single arrow. 

Beerens captures Reni's twisted body shape, and reverses Reni's white on black. The stag has a rainbow halo, LGBT iconography. 

He is the saint representing the gay establishment.
