About the piece
Created around 1610, this striking portrait of the Apostle Saint Andrew highlights El Greco's late Mannerist style, defined by elongated forms and an almost supernatural palette. The saint is depicted in a moment of quiet devotion, draped in vibrant green and deep blue robes while holding the saltire cross. Its dramatic contrast and masterful technique make it a sophisticated addition to any formal room or library.
