It shows the moment that Saint Andrew dies on the cross after having preached to the onlookers for two days. Further down the room is Interior of the Pantheon by Giovanni Paolo Panini.

Continuing to the East Wing of Level 2, Gallery 222 contains many wonderful Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. A couple of pieces deserve special attention. The Apple Seller by Pierre-Auguste Renoir shows a cheerful scene of the 19th-century French countryside. The brushstrokes are clearly visible in this painting, and its content is clearer from a distance than from nearby. Elsewhere in Gallery 222 are three paintings by Vincent van Gogh. His painting of Adeline Ravoux provides a ghostlike image of the girl who was prominently featured in the 2017 movie Loving Vincent.
