Created by Albert Robida, a renowned artist of his time, this print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this powerful image, we witness Jesus Christ extending his hand towards St Matthew, summoning him to follow in His footsteps. The intense expressions on their faces convey the profound significance of this momentous encounter. The divine light illuminating Jesus further emphasizes His spiritual authority and calling. Robida's masterful technique brings every intricate element to life - from the delicate folds of clothing to the meticulous rendering of architectural details in the background. This engraving truly transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this sacred narrative. Originally created as an illustration for "The Gospel according to Saint Matthew" published in 1873, this artwork has since become an iconic representation of faith and devotion.
