EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned masterpiece "Calling of St. Matthew" by Marinus van Roymerswaele. Painted during the Northern Renaissance, this oil on panel artwork measures 69.5x84.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from biblical history when Jesus Christ calls upon Matthew to become his disciple and follow him. The scene unfolds within a bustling custom house, where Matthew worked as a tax collector before being chosen by Jesus. Van Roymerswaele's meticulous attention to detail brings this narrative to life, capturing the astonishment and transformative power of this divine encounter. Through skillful brushwork and masterful use of light and shadow, he portrays each figure with remarkable realism. Matthew's expression reflects his initial disbelief at being singled out by Jesus but also reveals a glimmer of hope as he contemplates leaving behind his former life for a higher purpose. As an apostle, gospel writer, evangelist, and saint revered throughout Christian tradition, St. Matthew holds great significance in religious iconography. This print allows viewers to appreciate Van Roymerswaele's artistic genius while contemplating themes of vocation and spiritual calling that resonate across time. With its historical importance and aesthetic beauty, this extraordinary artwork continues to inspire awe among art enthusiasts worldwide.
