EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Calling of Saint Matthew" painted around 1530 by Marinus Claesz van Reymerswaele. The artwork, now part of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Collections, beautifully captures a significant moment in Christian history. In this scene, we witness the transformative encounter between Jesus Christ and Saint Matthew, as described in the New Testament. The painting exudes a sense of loyalty and devotion to one's faith. Through his masterful use of oil on wood, Reymerswaele brings to life the biblical narrative with remarkable detail and vibrant colors. "The Calling of Saint Matthew" transports us back to ancient times when Jesus called upon Matthew, a tax collector turned apostle. This pivotal event marked the beginning of Matthew's journey as one of Christ's most trusted disciples. The composition skillfully portrays not only this divine calling but also highlights other key figures such as John the Baptist and various prophets mentioned in Acts of the Apostles. Reymerswaele's work falls within the realm of early Netherlandish art, showcasing his exceptional talent for capturing religious themes with precision and emotional depth. As viewers gaze upon this photo print, they are transported into an era where faith played a central role in people's lives. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, "The Calling of Saint Matthew" serves as both a testament to Christian beliefs and an exquisite example of fine art from the Netherlands during that period.
