EDITORS COMMENTS
**The Calling of Saint Matthew: A Masterpiece of Dutch Renaissance Art**
In this exquisite print from Marinus van Reymerswaele's "Calling of Saint Matthew" (1530), we are transported to a momentous occasion in the life of Jesus Christ. The scene depicts the instant when Jesus, seated at a desk adorned with scrolls and documents, beckons Levi - also known as Matthew - away from his occupation as a customs officer to become one of His twelve apostles.
The artist's use of warm colors and soft lighting creates an intimate atmosphere within the interior setting of Capernaum. The figures' gentle postures convey a sense of quiet contemplation, while Jesus' outstretched hand symbolizes the invitation to follow Him. In this powerful biblical scene, we witness not only Matthew's conversion but also Christ's enduring message of compassion and redemption.
As one of the most celebrated works from the Dutch Renaissance period, "The Calling of Saint Matthew" is a testament to Marinus van Reymerswaele's skill as an oil painter on panel. This masterpiece has been preserved for centuries, offering us a glimpse into the artistic heritage of Europe during this pivotal era in history.
