EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts Saint Matthew, the beloved evangelist and one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. Born into a wealthy Jewish family in Capernaum, Matthew was initially a tax collector, a profession that made him unpopular among his fellow Jews. However, he was called by Jesus to be a disciple and became an influential figure in the early Christian community. The image showcases Saint Matthew in traditional attire, dressed in a red robe and wearing a yellow mantle, symbolizing his status as an evangelist. He is depicted holding a quill and an open book, signifying his role as a writer and recorder of the Gospel of Matthew. The inscription above him reads 'Mattheus Evangelista,' which translates to 'Matthew, the Evangelist.' The intricate details of the artwork reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the artist. The use of rich, earthy tones and the delicate rendering of Saint Matthew's features evoke a sense of reverence and awe. The golden halo surrounding his head and the ornate border adorned with cherubs and other decorative elements further emphasize the sacred nature of the subject. This print is believed to date back to the 1st century, making it a rare and valuable historical artifact. It offers a glimpse into the artistic and religious traditions of the time, providing insight into the early Christian faith and the veneration of its saints. The print is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of spirituality and inspire wonder and devotion.
