note
In The Crucifixion of Saint Andrew by Caravaggio the artist manages to have in the same painting Saint Andrew being crucified with the Latin cross and in the composition lines with another interpretation of the crucifixion the X-shaped cross of The Order of the Golden Fleece. ..... Wilmer McLean after the Civil War could justly claim, "The ( Civil War ) began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor." Caravaggio if asked which type of cross did you use in your painting of the Crucifixion of St Andrew could justly answer - Both.
