St Andrew
Peter Paul Rubens 1577 - 1640
oil on panel (108 × 84 cm) — c. 1611
Acts 1:13 - And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
This is one portrait in the series that Rubens made on all the apostles. Andrew is carrying his attribute: the cross he may have died on.
