Description
The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew (1606-7) is a pivotal work in the life and artistic development of Caravaggio. This painting exemplifies the artist's tenebristic style, while also introducing a grittier realism that would become a hallmark of his later work. Considered one of seven Caravaggio paintings in US collections, this altarpiece offers a unique insight into the artist's rise to fame in Rome and the historical contexts in which he worked. A recent conservation study has shed new light on the painting, providing valuable context for its assessment. This book-length publication brings together the findings of this study with an examination of the work's complex historical and geographic contexts, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Caravaggio's art and legacy.
