Zoom in on this photo of the underside of the arch of the apse at San Vitale in Ravenna. You will find a stunning portrait of Andrew among the apostles.
There are several incredible paintings of the martyrdom of Andrew, especially from the Baroque period – Caravaggio and Ribera.
In Rome, you can visit the church of Sant’Andrea della Valle, which is a Baroque structure dedicated to Saint Andrew, and a painted cycle by Mattia Preti wraps around the apse. It shows the raising of the cross, the Crucifixion, and then the taking down of the cross. You can take “virtual tour” here.
Multiple Spanish Baroque artists depicted Andrew in portrait style, standing with his cross – Ribera, Zurbaran, and El Greco (Greek, but working in Spain).
