"Saint Andrew" is a painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera, created around 1630. Ribera, known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and realistic depictions of religious figures, was a prominent figure in the Spanish and Neapolitan art scenes. This painting is a testament to his skill in capturing the emotional depth and humanity of his subjects.

The artwork portrays Saint Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, who is often recognized by the X-shaped cross, known as a saltire, upon which he was martyred. Ribera's depiction of Saint Andrew is notable for its intense realism and attention to detail. The saint is shown as an elderly man, with a weathered face and expressive eyes that convey a sense of wisdom and spiritual strength. His hands, prominently displayed, are rendered with meticulous detail, emphasizing the physical and emotional weight of his martyrdom.

Ribera's use of light and shadow in "Saint Andrew" enhances the dramatic effect of the painting, a hallmark of the Baroque style. The strong contrasts between light and dark areas draw the viewer's attention to the saint's face and hands, highlighting his pensive expression and the symbolic significance of his gesture. The background is kept relatively simple, allowing the figure of Saint Andrew to dominate the composition.

This painting is an excellent example of Ribera's ability to blend naturalism with spiritual themes, creating works that are both visually striking and deeply moving. "Saint Andrew" reflects Ribera's mastery of the Baroque aesthetic and his commitment to portraying religious figures with a sense of realism and humanity. The painting is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
