While working as Rubens's studio assistant, Van Dyck began painting individual pictures of the apostles, later repeating them for different series. The St. Andrew panel is from the Böhler series of apostles, named for the Munich art dealer, Julius Böhler, who discovered them in 1914 and later became one of John Ringling's most important dealers. The young Van Dyck reveled in his ability to handle paint, but he also did not hesitate to leave sections of the painting unfinished, betraying the expressive nature of his workmanship.
