EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Joachim Wtewael or Utewael, titled "St. Matthew". Painted with oil on panel, this masterpiece measures 78.7x62 cm and is housed in the prestigious Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, USA. The painting depicts St. Matthew, one of the twelve apostles and a beloved disciple of Jesus Christ. In this portrayal, he is depicted as an old man with a wise and contemplative expression. With an angelic figure hovering above him, St. Matthew diligently writes his gospel using a quill pen. An hourglass prominently placed beside him symbolizes the passage of time and serves as a reminder that every moment counts when it comes to spreading the word of God. The sand slowly trickling through the glass represents both mortality and urgency. Surrounding St. Matthew are charming putti figures who act as sources of inspiration for his divine task at hand. These cherubic beings encourage him to continue writing his gospel with unwavering devotion. Wtewael or Utewael's attention to detail shines through in this piece; every brushstroke reveals intricate textures and vibrant colors that bring life to St. Matthew's story. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back in time to witness not only an artist's skill but also feel the spiritual connection between heaven and earth within this sacred scene.
