The Martyrdom of Saint Andrew (Murillo) explained

The Martyrdom of Saint Andrew is a 1675-1682 oil on canvas painting by Murillo, now in the Museo del Prado.[1]

Its tone is heavily influenced by the work of Peter Paul Rubens, particularly his own depiction of the same subject,[2] and de Ribera's The Martyrdom of Saint Philip.[3]
