Angel Angelic Biblical Cherubs Divine Evangelist Gospel Gospels Hold Inspiration Matthew Scroll Visitation Visited
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print depicts St. Matthew, the beloved evangelist and author of the first book of the New Testament in the Bible, as he receives divine inspiration for his gospel account. The scene unfolds with St. Matthew, dressed in the robes of a scholar, seated at a table, quill in hand, ready to record the words of the angelic visitor. The angel, with wings outstretched and a scroll in hand, hovers above him, imparting the divine message. The illustration, from the Reuben Luke Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of the biblical story with intricate detail and beauty. The cherubs in the background add a sense of wonder and reverence to the scene, emphasizing the divine nature of the moment. St. Matthew, traditionally depicted with a winged man or an angel, symbolizes the idea of inspiration and revelation. The visitation of the angel is a significant moment in Christian theology, representing the divine call to write the gospel account. This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of divine inspiration and the role of the evangelists in recording and preserving the teachings of Jesus Christ for future generations. The intricate details of the print, from the folds of St. Matthew's robes to the delicate wings of the cherubs, showcase the masterful craftsmanship of the artist. The use of muted colors and soft lighting adds to the serene and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene, making it a beautiful and inspiring addition to any home or religious collection.
