Saint Andrew 

This oil painting of Saint Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, is a work by the Flemish Baroque artist Anthony van Dyck. Van Dyck, born in 1599, was renowned for his portraits and religious paintings, often depicting figures with a strong sense of realism and dramatic lighting. This work, while lacking a precise date, showcases the artist's skill in portraying the saint's emotional intensity through his expressive features, a detailed beard, and the way his hand rests on the cross. The painting is likely a study for a larger composition, showcasing Van Dyck's mastery of drawing and the human form.
