EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Matthew, 1539" was created by the talented artist Heinrich Aldegrever during the 16th century. The image showcases an elderly man sitting in a serene countryside setting, surrounded by billowing clouds that seem to glow with ethereal light. This masterful etching depicts Saint Matthew, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ, as he is portrayed in Christian biblical texts. The subject of this portrait is a wise and weathered figure with bare feet, suggesting humility and spiritual connection to the earth. His face exudes wisdom and serenity while his eyes hold a profound depth of knowledge. A halo gracefully crowns his head, symbolizing his saintly status. In this artwork, Aldegrever skillfully captures the essence of religious devotion through meticulous attention to detail and expert use of shading techniques. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and contemplation as Saint Matthew appears deep in thought or perhaps engaged in explaining sacred teachings to an unseen companion. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this old master's creation stands as a testament to German artistic heritage from centuries past. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire viewers today by inviting them into an intimate encounter with faith and spirituality captured on paper for eternity.
