EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-16th century print depicts St. Matthew the Evangelist, a prominent figure in Christian tradition known for his role as an apostle and evangelist. The image shows St. Matthew, dressed in the attire of a nobleman, seated on a hexagonal throne with a regal air. In his right hand, he holds a banderole or banner, which bears the inscription "Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist." The use of the banderole adds a sense of authority and importance to the figure. The print is a beautiful example of the niello manner, a technique popular during the Renaissance period. The image is engraved on a plate, with the intricate details of St. Matthew's face, clothing, and throne meticulously rendered in black and white. The artist has skillfully captured the character and dignity of the saint, making this a compelling and evocative work of art. St. Matthew is often depicted with a winged man or angel, symbolizing his role as an evangelist and the spread of the Gospel. However, in this print, the artist has chosen to focus solely on St. Matthew, emphasizing his role as a leader and a figure of reverence. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the past and offers a glimpse into the cultural and religious traditions of the time. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, and is sure to be a popular exhibit for visitors interested in the history of art, Christianity, and the evolution of the portrait genre. The intricate details and the use of the niello technique make this a stunning and unique work of art, worthy of close examination and appreciation.
