EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of St. Matthew, one of the apostles, from Hendrik Goltzius' masterpiece "Christ, the Apostles and St. Paul with the Creed" created around 1589. The image showcases a man deeply engrossed in reading a book, symbolizing his dedication to spreading Christianity through literature. Hendrik Goltzius, a renowned Netherlandish artist of the 16th century, skillfully engraved this piece with intricate details that bring St. Matthew to life. The lines etched on paper create a captivating contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing every contour of the saint's face and hands as he delves into sacred text. As we gaze upon this artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between man and faith. St. Matthew's expression reflects both concentration and reverence for his religious duties. The Latin inscription accompanying this print further emphasizes its significance within Christian heritage. It serves as a reminder that literature has long been an essential tool for disseminating religious teachings throughout history. Through Goltzius' masterful technique and attention to detail, this print immortalizes not only St. Matthew but also highlights the importance of spirituality in art during the Renaissance period. It is truly an exceptional representation of devotion captured in black ink on white paper - a testament to human creativity inspired by faith.
