Angel Apostle Biblical Evangelist Gospel Matthew Write Writes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century illustration depicts Matthew the Apostle, one of the twelve chosen disciples of Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament of the Bible. Matthew, also recognized as one of the four Evangelists and the author of the Gospel According to Matthew, is shown here in a contemplative moment, engaged in the act of writing. An ethereal angel hovers above him, holding out a quill and inkpot, symbolizing inspiration and divine guidance. Matthew, a tax collector by trade, was called by Jesus to follow Him and became a devoted follower. After Jesus' ascension, Matthew spread the word of the Gospel throughout the ancient world, sharing the story of Jesus' life, teachings, miracles, and ultimate sacrifice. This illustration, reminiscent of the Baroque period, showcases the rich symbolism and intricate detail characteristic of the era. The use of soft, warm colors and delicate brushstrokes adds to the serene and otherworldly atmosphere, evoking a sense of reverence and awe. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the profound impact that Matthew, and the other apostles, had on the development of Christianity. Their unwavering faith and dedication to spreading the teachings of Jesus continue to inspire and influence countless generations, making this illustration a cherished piece of Christian art and a testament to the enduring power of the Bible story.
