Italian Painter (17th-18th Century) - Saint Andrew.

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

73.5 x 58.5 cm (without frame) - 88.5 x 73.5 cm (with frame).

Oil on canvas, in carved and gilded wooden frame.

The painting depicts the Apostle Saint Andrew carrying his cross, rendered according to the traditional iconography of the X-shaped (saltire) cross. The figure is shown from behind, head turned upward in an expression of intense spiritual devotion. The close-cropped composition is characteristic of the late Italian Baroque tradition, with fluid brushwork and an effective use of chiaroscuro. The palette — ochre, burnt orange, and dark green against a dark ground — is consistent with Italian devotional painting of the late 17th to early 18th century.
