EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "St Matthew the Evangelist, 1661" by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn. The artist's exceptional talent is evident in this masterpiece, which depicts St Matthew, a prominent figure in Christianity and one of the four Gospel writers. In this portrait, St Matthew is portrayed as a wise and pious man. His body language exudes tranquility as he sits with an open book before him, diligently writing down divine revelations. A celestial angel hovers above him, symbolizing heavenly guidance and inspiration. Rembrandt's meticulous attention to detail is apparent in every stroke of his brush. The rich colors and textures bring life to the painting, while the play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to St Matthew's bearded face. As a Dutch artist from the 17th century - also known as Holland's Golden Age - Rembrandt masterfully captures not only St Matthew's physical appearance but also his spiritual essence. This artwork serves as a testament to Rembrandt's profound understanding of religious subjects and his ability to convey deep emotions through art. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both Rembrandt's genius as well as the enduring legacy of St Matthew within Christian literature.
