About the piece

Attributed to the Spanish master Jusepe de Ribera around 1626, this painting is a quintessential example of Baroque Tenebrism. The work depicts Saint Andrew with an unflinching realism, using high-contrast lighting to emphasize his weathered features and spiritual devotion against the dark shadows of his iconic X-shaped cross.
