DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
The painting The Martyrdom of Saint Andrew is a Baroque work by the Tuscan painter Francesco Nasini, founder of a famous dynasty of artists active primarily on Mount Amiata and in the Siena area.
The work is historically linked to the Basilica of San Francesco in Siena, a place that preserves several paintings and altarpieces created by the artist and his workshop.
The canvas depicts the dramatic moment of the martyrdom of the apostle Andrew, interpreted in the devotional style, with strong chiaroscuro contrasts and the pathetic sensibility typical of 17th-century Tuscany.
