EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour on parchment print of Saint Matthew the Evangelist, created in 1237 by the Master of Codex Matenadaran, is a true masterpiece of 13th-century art. Housed in the Matenadaran Gospel at the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts in Yerevan, Armenia, this work captures the essence and spirit of one of the four evangelists.
Saint Matthew is depicted with intricate detail and vibrant colors, showcasing his importance as a biblical figure and evangelist. The artist's skillful hand brings to life this revered saint, known for his Gospel that emphasizes Jesus' teachings on mercy and forgiveness.
The delicate brushstrokes and rich hues used in this manuscript illumination highlight Saint Matthew's role as an apostle and writer of one of the first books in the New Testament. His expression exudes wisdom and devotion, making it clear why he is considered a patron saint of accountants, bankers, bookkeepers, security guards, stockbrokers - anyone who works with numbers or money.
This print serves as a reminder not only of Saint Matthew's significance within Christianity but also as a testament to the artistic talent present during the medieval period. It stands as a timeless representation of faith and creativity that continues to inspire viewers centuries later.
