Saint Andrew, 1426. Additional Info: Saint Andrew is identified by his attributes of a cross and a book. The cross refers to his martyrdom by crucifixion. The Saint Andrew panel was originally part of the upper right tier of a large altarpiece commissioned by a wealthy public officer for a church in Pisa. St. Andrew's haunting gaze in this painting is turned toward Christ on the cross, shown in the altarpiece's upper middle panel. Other panels of the fifteen-foot-tall altarpiece are in museums throughout Europe.
