EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Calling of Matthew" a remarkable artwork created by the Workshop of Jan Sanders van Hemessen in the 16th century. The painting depicts a significant moment from Christian history, where Saint Matthew, a former tax collector turned apostle, is called to follow Jesus. In this Renaissance masterpiece, vibrant colors and meticulous details bring the scene to life. The oil on wood technique used by the artist enhances every brushstroke and adds depth to each figure. A group of men and women are depicted in various occupations, capturing a snapshot of daily life during that era. The central focus lies on Saint Matthew himself, who appears startled as he receives his divine calling from Jesus Christ. This powerful conversion moment symbolizes not only Matthew's personal transformation but also represents the universal theme of redemption and spiritual awakening. "The Calling of Matthew" is housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcasing its significance as an invaluable piece within their collection. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate the beauty and historical importance captured within this Netherlandish masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image created by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness one man's profound encounter with faith—a testament to both artistic mastery and religious devotion that continues to inspire viewers centuries later.
