EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite design for embroidery, created by Hardman & Co. between 1850 and 1875, depicts the angelic figure of St. Matthew the Evangelist. The angel is shown with outstretched wings, holding a quill pen in one hand and an open book in the other, symbolizing his role as a scribe and author of the Gospel of Matthew in the Christian Bible. The intricate detail of the design is evident in the delicate folds of the angel's robe and the delicate shading of the wings, which appear as if they are made of gossamer fabric. The use of watercolour and graphite mineral adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. Hardman & Co., a renowned Dutch company based in the Netherlands, was known for producing high-quality embroidery designs during the 19th century. This design for St. Matthew the Evangelist is a testament to their skill and artistic vision. The angel's serene expression and graceful pose convey a sense of peace and tranquility, making it a fitting addition to any religious or heritage art collection. The Rijksmuseum, a prestigious museum in the Netherlands, holds many examples of Hardman & Co.'s work, showcasing the company's significant contribution to the art and cultural heritage of Europe during the 19th century. This design for St. Matthew the Evangelist is a beautiful example of the company's graphic design abilities, which were highly sought after by clients for their intricate and detailed designs for embroidery and needlework.
