EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the exquisite "Portrait of Saint Matthew" from the Book of Lindisfarne Gospels, a masterpiece written and illuminated around 700 A. D. in the monastery on Lindisfarne or Holy Island off the Northumberland coast. The portrait depicts Saint Matthew, one of the apostles, in a moment frozen in time. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every stroke brings this biblical figure to life. Saint Matthew is portrayed seated with an air of wisdom and contemplation, his gaze fixed on something beyond our sight. The delicate manuscript illumination surrounding him adds an ethereal touch to this medieval artwork. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported back to the Dark Ages when Christianity flourished amidst turmoil and uncertainty. This portrait serves as a testament to both faith and artistic skill during that era. The Book of Lindisfarne Gospels itself holds great significance as it represents a fusion between Byzantine influences and Celtic artistry. Its handwritten text showcases meticulous craftsmanship while its evangelical message continues to inspire generations. Whether you appreciate religious iconography or have an affinity for medieval art, this print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination. It invites us to reflect upon centuries past while marveling at the talent that brought such beauty into existence.
