# Saint Andrew, in The Northern Renaissance

Hendrick Goltzius made this (probably 1589), aged 31. It is now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.

Our note:

> Saint Andrew, his lined face resting on one hand and a book tucked under his arm, gazes out of the frame with a melancholy, inward look, set against a background of rugged rocks. Goltzius engraved the plate around 1589 as part of a series of the apostles, each a half-length figure with a Latin inscription below.
