St. Andrew (1633) is a sculpture by François Duquesnoy, at the Basilica of San Pietro in Vaticano, Rome, Italy.
Made between 1629 and 1633, the sculpture of St. Andrews by François Duquesnoy is one of the four larger-than-life statues at the corners of the crossing of St. Peter's Basilica. The other three statues are Bernini's Saint Longinus, Mochi's Santa Veronica, and Bolgi's St. Helena. Each statue depicts a venerated relic, which at the time, was the property of the Pope and St. Peters.
