EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "St. Matthew the Evangelist" a glazed earthenware tondo created by the renowned Della Robbia School. Housed in the Cappella Tolosa of the church of Sant'Anna dei Lombardi in Naples, Italy, this masterpiece is a testament to the High Relief Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished during Europe's first and second millenniums. Dating back to the 15th century, this tondo captures St. Matthew in all his glory as an apostle and evangelist. The figure stands tall, adorned in ancient period attire that reflects both fashion and clothing from that era. With meticulous attention to detail, every fold and texture of his garments are brought to life through delicate glazing techniques. Beside him stands an angelic companion, symbolizing divine guidance on his spiritual journey. Together they create a harmonious composition that exudes tranquility and grace. The artist behind this remarkable piece is part of the esteemed Della Robbia school, known for their mastery in creating stunning glazed terracotta sculptures. Their unique style combines vibrant colors with intricate craftsmanship, resulting in artworks that have stood the test of time. Captured by Alinari Fratelli around 1920-1930, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of St. Matthew's portrayal within Christian religion. It serves as a visual reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us into a world where art intertwines with faith. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago when masterpieces like these were revered for their ability to inspire devotion and contemplation among believers who sought solace within sacred spaces such as Sant'Anna dei Lombardi Church.
