EDITORS COMMENTS
This late 19th century illustration depicts a significant moment in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, as Jesus calls Matthew, the tax collector, to be one of his twelve apostles. The scene unfolds in a serene setting, with Jesus extending his hand towards Matthew, who sits at his tax collection booth, surrounded by his co-workers and piles of coins. A sense of transformation is palpable in the scene, as Matthew looks up from his work, his expression filled with curiosity and wonder, as he responds to Jesus' call. The illustration, part of the Reuben Luke Collection held by Mary Evans Picture Library, masterfully captures the essence of this biblical story. The artist's use of muted colors and intricate details, such as the folds in the robes of the figures and the textures of the fabric and coins, adds depth and authenticity to the image. The peaceful atmosphere of the scene, with the gentle light filtering through the trees and the calm expression on Jesus' face, creates a sense of tranquility and reverence. This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and the importance of responding to God's call, no matter where we may be in life. The story of Jesus and Matthew is a testament to the enduring power of the Christian faith and its ability to touch the lives of individuals, even in the most unexpected of places.
