About the piece
Created in 1646 by Charles Le Brun, this masterpiece of the French Baroque captures the intense drama of Saint Andrew's martyrdom. The composition is expertly balanced, focusing on the saint centrally as he is bound to the decussate cross, surrounded by a complex arrangement of soldiers, onlookers, and a celestial messenger above, all rendered with luminous color and sophisticated brushwork.
