EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etching, we are transported back to the 17th century to witness a powerful portrayal of Matthew, one of the Four Evangelists. Created by Petrus Feddes, a Dutch artist known for his religious works, this print exudes an air of reverence and spirituality. Matthew is depicted as an elderly man with a wise and gentle countenance. His eyes seem to hold ancient wisdom as he gazes into the distance, perhaps contemplating divine revelations. The intricate details in his facial features convey both strength and vulnerability, capturing the essence of human existence. The artist's masterful use of shading creates depth and dimensionality in this monochromatic piece. The play between light and shadow adds a sense of mystery to Matthew's figure while emphasizing his spiritual significance. As we observe this artwork from centuries past at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Netherlands, it serves as a reminder of our shared heritage rooted in Christianity. It invites us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and its impact on individuals throughout history. Petrus Feddes' rendition captures not only Matthew's role as an evangelist but also his humanity. This timeless depiction resonates with viewers today, reminding us that despite the passage of time, our quest for meaning remains unchanged.
