"St Andrew" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Simone Cantarini, also known as Il Pesarese, who was active during the early 17th century. Cantarini, born in Pesaro in 1612, was a prominent figure in the Bolognese school of painting, which was heavily influenced by the works of Guido Reni, under whom Cantarini studied. His oeuvre is characterized by its delicate use of color, refined compositions, and the emotional expressiveness of his figures.

The painting "St Andrew" exemplifies Cantarini's mastery in capturing the spiritual intensity and human vulnerability of his subjects. St Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, is depicted with a serene yet contemplative expression, embodying both his faith and his martyrdom. The saint is traditionally shown with the X-shaped cross, known as the Saltire or St Andrew's Cross, upon which he was crucified. Cantarini's rendition of St Andrew is marked by a meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the saint's facial features and the drapery of his garments, which convey a sense of movement and depth.

The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights Cantarini's skill in creating a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional surface, a technique that was highly regarded during the Baroque period. The chiaroscuro effect not only enhances the physical presence of St Andrew but also imbues the painting with a dramatic intensity that draws the viewer into the spiritual narrative.

Cantarini's "St Andrew" is a testament to his ability to blend the influences of his mentor, Guido Reni, with his own unique artistic vision. The painting remains an important work within the canon of Baroque religious art, reflecting the devotional fervor and artistic innovation of the period.
