"St Andrew (fragment)" is a notable work attributed to the early 15th-century Italian painter Lippo d'Andrea. Lippo d'Andrea, active primarily in Florence, is recognized for his contributions to the Gothic style of painting, which was characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and religious themes. Although not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Lippo d'Andrea's works are appreciated for their delicate execution and adherence to the stylistic norms of his time.

The "St Andrew (fragment)" is believed to be a part of a larger altarpiece or polyptych, a common practice in the Gothic period where multiple panels would be assembled to create a grand, cohesive religious narrative. This fragment specifically depicts St Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, who is often identified by his distinctive attribute, the diagonal cross (also known as a saltire) on which he was martyred. The fragment showcases Lippo d'Andrea's skill in rendering the human figure with a sense of piety and solemnity, typical of religious iconography of the era.

The painting likely dates back to the early 1400s, a period when Florence was a thriving center of artistic innovation and religious devotion. During this time, artists were heavily commissioned by the Church to create works that would inspire and educate the faithful. The fragment's survival through the centuries suggests it was highly valued, even as the larger work it was part of may have been dismantled or lost.

Art historians have pieced together Lippo d'Andrea's oeuvre through such fragments, allowing a glimpse into the artistic practices and devotional life of early Renaissance Florence. The "St Andrew (fragment)" remains an important piece for understanding the transition from Gothic to early Renaissance art, reflecting both the continuity and change in artistic techniques and religious expression during this transformative period in art history.
