EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Christ calling Matthew, the tax collector to follow him" we are transported back in time to witness a profound moment of spiritual awakening. The image, taken from JJ Tissot's renowned series "The Life of Our Saviour Jesus Christ" circa 1890, captures the essence of Christian faith and devotion. At the center of the composition stands Jesus Christ himself, radiating an aura of divine grace and compassion. His outstretched arm points directly at Matthew, a tax collector who was considered an outcast by society. This gesture symbolizes not only Christ's acceptance but also his invitation for Matthew to embark on a transformative journey as his disciple. Matthew appears deeply moved by this encounter with divinity. His face reflects a mix of surprise, awe, and perhaps even uncertainty about accepting such an extraordinary call. Yet there is no doubt that he recognizes something profoundly significant in this moment – an opportunity for redemption and purpose beyond anything he could have imagined. Through Tissot's masterful use of color and detail in this oleograph reproduction from Universal Images Group (UIG), we can almost feel the weighty decision hanging in the air. It serves as a reminder that faith often requires us to step outside our comfort zones and embrace new paths illuminated by higher powers. This timeless depiction continues to inspire believers around the world today, reminding us that no matter our past or perceived shortcomings, we too can be called upon by Christ to follow him into lives filled with meaning
