Focus on Crucifixion of Saint Andrew (Damaskinos) and explain the abstract.
Crucifixion of Saint Andrew is a tempera painting by Greek painter Michael Damaskinos.  Damaskinos painted in Heraklion, Venice, Sicily, and other parts of Italy.  He was associated with the Greek church San Giorgio dei Greci in Venice.  His painting of the Crucifixion of Saint Andrew follows the traditional Greek mannerisms prevalent at the time.  It is a rare painting of Andrew the Apostle crucified in the same style as his brother Saint Peter. Saint Peter refused to be crucified the same way as Jesus.  He was crucified upside down.  Saint Andrew is typically crucified in the form of an X rather than the cross.  He was crucified in Patras where his remains can be found today at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, Patras.  The Damaskinos painting of the  Crucifixion of Saint Andrew can be found at the  Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens, Greece.
