EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases "The Calling of St Matthew" by Alexandre Bida, a renowned French artist from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally published in El Mundo Ilustrado Biblioteca de Las Familias (The Illustrated World Library of Families) in Barcelona around 1880. "The Calling of St Matthew" depicts a significant biblical moment when Jesus calls upon Matthew to become one of his disciples. In this scene, we witness the transformative power of faith as Matthew, a tax collector, responds to Christ's divine invitation with awe and reverence. Bida's masterful technique brings this sacred event to life through intricate details and rich colors. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between light and shadow, symbolizing the spiritual awakening that occurs within Matthew's soul. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded not only of its religious significance but also its artistic brilliance. Bida skillfully portrays the emotions felt by both Jesus and Matthew during their encounter on that fateful day. "The Calling of St Matthew" serves as an inspiring reminder for believers worldwide about the importance of answering one's calling with humility and devotion. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of Christian values and teachings throughout history. This lithograph print offers us an opportunity to appreciate Bida's talent while reflecting on our own personal vocations and how they align with our faith.
