EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Caravaggio's masterpiece, "St. Matthew and the Angel" painted in 1602. The panel measures an impressive 295x195 cm and is housed in the San Luigi dei Francesi church in Rome, Italy. Captured by the talented photographer Raffaello Bencini, this image beautifully captures every intricate detail of Caravaggio's chiaroscuro technique. In this painting, we see St. Matthew engrossed in his writing at a lectern while an angel gently guides his hand with divine inspiration. The play of light and shadow emphasizes the dramatic intensity that Caravaggio was known for, creating a sense of depth and realism. The artist's mastery is evident not only in the meticulous rendering of each finger but also in the delicate folds of St. Matthew's plisse clothing. This attention to detail brings life to the scene, making it feel almost tangible. Caravaggio's ability to capture human emotions through paint is truly remarkable; here we witness St. Matthew deep in thought as he receives heavenly guidance from above. This print serves as a testament to both Caravaggio's genius and Bencini's skill behind the lens – preserving this timeless artwork for all art enthusiasts to admire for generations to come.
