"The Crucifixion of St. Andrew" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created around 1606-1607. This work is significant as it exemplifies Caravaggio's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his powerful, realistic depiction of human emotion and suffering. The painting portrays the martyrdom of Saint Andrew, who, according to tradition, was crucified on an X-shaped cross, which is known as a saltire or Saint Andrew's Cross.

Caravaggio's depiction is notable for its stark realism and emotional intensity. The scene is illuminated with a stark contrast of light and shadow, a technique that became synonymous with Caravaggio and influenced a generation of artists known as the Caravaggisti. The artist's focus on the physical and emotional torment of St. Andrew, combined with the stark, tenebrous setting, creates a poignant and humanizing portrayal of the saint's martyrdom.

The painting was commissioned for the Church of Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome and is one of the few works by Caravaggio that remained in its original location for a considerable time. Today, "The Crucifixion of St. Andrew" is held in a different collection, having experienced a history of ownership that reflects the shifting tastes and politics of art patronage through the centuries.

As a masterpiece of Baroque art, "The Crucifixion of St. Andrew" is studied for its innovative approach to composition, lighting, and narrative. Caravaggio's influence on the development of Western art is evident in this work, which continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative, human portrayal of a sacred subject.
