Saint Andrew is a notable painting by the Mexican artist Juan Rodríguez Juárez, who was an influential figure in the early 18th-century New Spanish Baroque art movement. Born into a prominent family of artists in Mexico City in 1675, Rodríguez Juárez was the son of Antonio Rodríguez and the brother of Nicolás Rodríguez Juárez, both of whom were well-regarded painters of their time. His work is characterized by a blend of European Baroque influences and local artistic traditions, reflecting the cultural syncretism of colonial Mexico.

The painting "Saint Andrew" exemplifies Rodríguez Juárez's mastery in religious iconography, a common subject in his oeuvre. Saint Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, is depicted with the attributes traditionally associated with him, such as the X-shaped cross (crux decussata) on which he was martyred. The composition of the painting is marked by a dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Baroque art, which serves to highlight the saint's serene yet resolute expression. The rich, deep colors and meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of textures, such as the folds of the saint's garments and the intricate background, further demonstrate Rodríguez Juárez's technical skill and artistic sensibility.

This painting not only serves as a devotional image but also as a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between Europe and the Americas during the colonial period. Rodríguez Juárez's work, including "Saint Andrew," played a significant role in the development of a distinct Mexican artistic identity that incorporated European techniques while also embracing indigenous elements. Today, "Saint Andrew" is appreciated not only for its religious significance but also for its contribution to the history of art in Mexico.
