This bas-relief, created by Hippolyte Malègue before 1857, depicts the martyrdom of Saint Andrew. The artwork, measuring 172mm in height and 191mm in width, likely portrays the saint's crucifixion on an X-shaped cross, a common symbol of his martyrdom. While details about the artist are limited, the intricate detail and composition of the bas-relief suggest a skilled hand and a knowledge of classical art and Christian iconography. This piece, originally part of the cathedral of Le Puy-en-Velay, offers a glimpse into the religious art of the 19th century.
