About the piece
Painted in 1631, this powerful work by Jusepe de Ribera showcases the artist's mastery of tenebrism. The weathered figure of Saint Andrew emerges from a deep, shadowy background, emphasizing the tactile realism of his aged skin and the sturdy wood of the cross, a hallmark of Ribera's Spanish Baroque style.
