Italian painter (17th-18th century) - Saint Andrew.

Italian painter (17th-18th century) - Saint Andrew. 73.5 x 58.5 cm (unframed) - 88.5 x 73.5 cm (framed). Oil on canvas, in a carved and gilded wooden frame. The painting depicts Saint Andrew the Apostle carrying his cross, depicted in the traditional X-shaped (crux decussata) iconography. The figure is rendered from the back, with the head turned upwards in an expression of intense spiritual participation. The composition, cropped in the foreground on the figure, harks back to the tradition of the Italian late Baroque, with loose brushwork and effective use of chiaroscuro. The color palette, centered on ochre, burnt orange, and dark green against a dark background, is consistent with Italian devotional painting between the 17th and early 18th centuries.
