EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the life of St Matthew the Evangelist, dating back to around 1808. In this engraving, we witness an angel appearing before St Matthew, calling him away from his occupation as a tax collector to become a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. The scene is inspired by the biblical account found in Matthew 9:8. The artist's skillful use of monochrome tones adds depth and intensity to this nineteenth-century masterpiece. It beautifully portrays the transformative power of faith and divine intervention. St Matthew's expression reflects both surprise and awe as he receives this celestial summons. As one of the four Gospel writers, St Matthew holds great significance within Christianity. This image serves as a visual reminder of his crucial role in spreading the teachings of Jesus through his written accounts. This print is not only an artistic representation but also a testament to religious devotion throughout history. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire believers across generations, reminding us that even ordinary individuals can be called upon for extraordinary purposes. Displayed prominently on any wall or cherished within personal collections, this print invites contemplation on themes such as faith, obedience, and spiritual transformation – making it an ideal addition for those seeking inspiration from Christian art rooted in biblical narratives.
