Waldmüller's beginnings as an artist were characterised by intensive copying. His main interest was in Dutch landscape painting but he studied also religious paintings by Italian and Spanish artists. The present painting is a smaller copy of Jusepe de Ribera's Martyrdom of St Andrew (Szépmûvészeti Múzeum, Budapest) | |
