The Calling of Saint Matthew
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece by Hendrick Jansz Terbrugghen, an influential Dutch painter from the 17th century. This exquisite oil on canvas print, now housed in the Musee d'art moderne Andre Malraux Le Havre collection, depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history. The scene portrays Jesus Christ summoning Matthew, who would later become one of his most loyal apostles and the author of the Gospel according to Matthew. With profound symbolism and meticulous attention to detail, Terbrugghen captures the transformative power of this divine encounter. Through his masterful brushstrokes, he conveys Matthew's astonishment and inner struggle as he grapples with accepting his vocation. The artist skillfully highlights the contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing both Matthew's worldly wealth as a tax collector and Jesus' radiant presence that calls him towards a higher purpose. This painting not only showcases Terbrugghen's technical prowess but also serves as a testament to Saint Matthew's unwavering faith and commitment to spreading Christianity. It invites viewers into a contemplative space where they can reflect upon their own spiritual journeys and consider how they respond when called upon by something greater than themselves. As we admire this remarkable work of art, let us be reminded of Saint Matthew's transformation from sinner to saint – an inspiring tale that continues to resonate through centuries.
