EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century pen and brown ink brush and brown wash drawing on prepared laid paper by Francesco Fontebasso depicts the Martyrdom of Saint Andrew. Saint Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, is shown in the moment of his execution. He is depicted in prayer as he is bound to an X-shaped cross, which has become his symbol. The martyrdom took place in Patras, Greece, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Nero. The image captures the intense emotion and devotion of the saint as he embraces his fate. The use of brown ink and wash, heightened with white, creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the figure to life. The drawing is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Italy during the eighteenth century. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the sacrifices made in its name. This beautiful work of art is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
