EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Abraham Bloemaert's masterpiece, "St Matthew and an Angel" painted in 1621. The artwork depicts the iconic biblical figure of St Matthew alongside a heavenly angel engrossed in reading a book. The painting beautifully captures the essence of spirituality, with its rich colors and intricate details. Abraham Bloemaert, a renowned Dutch artist from the 17th century, skillfully portrays St Matthew's devotion to literature and his connection with divine guidance through this piece. The saint's flowing beard adds wisdom and maturity to his character, while the cherubic angel symbolizes purity and celestial intervention. The setting is reminiscent of Holland during that era, reflecting both the cultural context of the country as well as its strong Christian roots. This religious theme resonates throughout the painting, emphasizing faith as an integral part of people's lives during that time. As we admire this portrait captured on canvas using oil paints, we are transported back to a period when art was not only aesthetically pleasing but also served as a medium for storytelling and spiritual reflection. This particular image has been preserved by Ann Ronan Pictures' print collector1 for generations to appreciate. "St Matthew and an Angel" by Abraham Bloemaert continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless beauty and profound message about devotion, faithfulness, and divine guidance within Christianity.
