Saint Andrew the Apostle 1631 - 1686

"Saint Andrew the Apostle" is an oil painting created by the Italian Baroque artist Carlo Dolci between 1631 and 1686. It depicts Saint Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, holding the cross on which he was crucified. Dolci is known for his meticulous attention to detail, evident in the rich textures of Saint Andrew's beard and the folds of his robe. This painting, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a testament to Dolci's mastery of portraiture and religious imagery.
