# The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew, in Caravaggio's contemporaries

Caravaggio painted this in 1606–7, aged about 35. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> Saint Andrew’s efforts to introduce Christianity to Greece in the first century CE were met with hostility from local authorities. He was sentenced to die on the cross because he refused to acknowledge pagan gods. For two days, Andrew preached from his martyr’s station to an increasingly sympathetic crowd.
