Angel Evang Evangelist Gazing Matthew Supposed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1st century image, St. Matthew the Evangelist by an Unknown Artist from the Royaumont Abbey in France, vividly portrays a pivotal moment in the life of the patron saint of artists and tax collectors. Saint Matthew, dressed in the attire of a Roman scribe, is depicted with an open gospel book and a quill pen in hand, seated outdoors amidst lush greenery. However, his gaze is not on the task at hand but rather fixed on the breathtaking view before him. An ethereal angel, with wings outstretched, hovers above him, reproaching the saint for his distraction. The angel's stern expression and outstretched finger emphasize the urgency of the situation. Saint Matthew, with a contrite look, seems to acknowledge the rebuke and turns his attention back to his writing. This historical artwork, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and spiritual world of the early Christian era. The juxtaposition of the natural beauty of the landscape and the spiritual significance of the moment underscores the challenges of maintaining focus and dedication in the face of distractions. The image also highlights the importance of the written word in the transmission of the Gospel message, as Saint Matthew diligently records the words of Christ. This evocative print, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of human experiences and emotions, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical or religious art.
