EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Matthew, from The Four Evangelists" an exquisite engraving by Heinrich Aldegrever in 1539. Measuring at 11.6x7.6 cm, this black engraving on ivory laid paper is housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. The image depicts Matthew, one of the four evangelists, who played a significant role in spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ through his Gospel. With meticulous attention to detail and masterful skill, Aldegrever captures Matthew's essence as he diligently writes down divine revelations with a quill pen. Intricate lines and delicate shading bring out the depth and expression on Matthew's face, conveying his profound connection to spirituality. An angelic figure hovers above him, symbolizing heavenly guidance and inspiration bestowed upon him during this sacred task. This artwork represents the Northern Renaissance period characterized by its emphasis on realism and religious themes. It exemplifies the fusion of artistic excellence with biblical storytelling that was prevalent during this era. Part of The Charles Deering Collection at The Art Institute of Chicago, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to Aldegrever's talent as well as Georg Pencz's influence on his work. As we gaze upon this engraving today, we are transported back in time to witness both the artistry and devotion that defined an extraordinary epoch in human history.
