EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew" a remarkable oil on canvas painting created by Luca Giordano in approximately 1660. The artwork, measuring 179.5x128.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Art Gallery of Ontario, located in Toronto, Canada. Giordano's masterpiece depicts the martyrdom of Saint Andrew with profound emotion and artistic finesse. The saint is shown crucified on an imposing cross while soldiers surround him, emphasizing his persecution and sacrifice for his faith. A serene angel hovers above him, symbolizing divine intervention and heavenly support during this agonizing ordeal. The composition exudes elements of Baroque artistry through its dramatic chiaroscuro technique that contrasts light and shadow to create depth and intensity. This effect enhances the emotional impact of the scene as well as highlights Giordano's exceptional skill as a painter. Notably, two cherubic putti are also present within the painting—perhaps representing innocence or spiritual purity amidst such brutality. Additionally, a palm frond—a traditional symbol associated with martyrs—is prominently featured near Saint Andrew. "The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew" stands as a testament to Giordano's mastery in capturing both human suffering and celestial beauty within one frame. Its inclusion in the Art Gallery of Ontario's collection was made possible through the generous gift from Joey and Toby Tanenbaum in 1995.
