"St. Andrew 1426" is a fresco attributed to the Italian Renaissance painter Masaccio (Tommaso di Giovanni di Simone Cassai, 1401 – 1428), one of the pivotal figures in the early Renaissance whose work is renowned for its realism and psychological depth. The fresco, dated to 1426, is believed to depict Saint Andrew the Apostle, known for his martyrdom and association with the X-shaped cross, commonly referred to as the Saltire or Saint Andrew's Cross.

Masaccio's innovative approach to art is evident in "St. Andrew 1426," where he employs the use of perspective and chiaroscuro to create a sense of three-dimensionality and naturalism. This work is part of Masaccio's contributions to the development of fresco painting, which would heavily influence later Renaissance artists. His mastery in the depiction of human anatomy, the drapery of clothing, and the emotional expressiveness of figures marked a significant departure from the more stylized and idealized representations of the earlier Gothic tradition.

The fresco is one of the few attributed works by Masaccio, whose brief career spanned less than a decade before his untimely death at the age of 27. Despite the scarcity of surviving works, Masaccio's legacy is profound, and his techniques would be studied and emulated by subsequent generations of artists, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

"St. Andrew 1426" is not only a testament to Masaccio's artistic skill but also provides insight into the religious and cultural context of 15th-century Florence. The choice of Saint Andrew as the subject reflects the veneration of Christian martyrs during the period and the importance of religious art in public and private devotion.

As with many works of the period, the current location and condition of the fresco may be subject to ongoing research and conservation efforts. Art historians continue to study Masaccio's work to gain a deeper understanding of his techniques and his impact on the trajectory of Western art.
