EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the lost masterpiece "Saint Matthew and the Angel" by Caravaggio, a renowned Italian artist of the Baroque period. Painted in 1602 with oil on canvas, this artwork measured an impressive 223x183 cm. Tragically, it was destroyed during World War II in 1945 when it was housed at the former Kaiser Friedrich Museum. The image depicts Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, accompanied by a celestial angel. The angel's magnificent wingspan adds a sense of ethereal beauty to the composition. Caravaggio's signature style is evident in his masterful use of light and shadow to create depth and drama. Though we can no longer behold this religious icon firsthand, this print allows us to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of Caravaggio's immense talent and contribution to art history. The scene portrays Saint Matthew engrossed in reading from a book while surrounded by several animals representing wildlife. This symbolism emphasizes his connection with nature and God's creation. As admirers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to early 17th century Italy where Caravaggio revolutionized art through his innovative techniques and profound religious imagery. Despite its destruction, "Saint Matthew and the Angel" continues to inspire awe and reverence for both its creator and subject matter.
