EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St. Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, as depicted by the renowned German artist Hans Baldung in 1519. The image is a woodcut from Baldung's series "Christ and the Apostles" which beautifully captures the essence of Northern Renaissance art. In this piece, St. Matthew is portrayed as an old man holding a book, symbolizing his role as the author of one of the four Gospels in the New Testament. Standing at full length with a pike weapon beside him, he exudes wisdom and strength despite his age. Baldung's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from St. Matthew's expressive face to his intricate clothing and halberd weapon. The monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to the composition while emphasizing its timeless quality. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are transported back to 16th-century Germany, where Christianity played a significant role in society. This woodcut serves not only as a religious icon but also as a testament to Baldung's exceptional skill in capturing human emotions through art. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, this heritage artwork continues to inspire viewers with its profound depiction of faith and devotion amidst times of war and turmoil.
