EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Matthew" is a captivating oil painting by the Dutch artist Jan van Bijlert, created in the late 1620s. This masterpiece showcases Van Bijlert's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of human emotion and spirituality. The painting depicts St. Matthew, one of the twelve apostles, in a contemplative moment as he writes the Gospel of Matthew. St. Matthew is portrayed as an elderly man with a wise and introspective expression, dressed in the attire of a scholar. He sits at a table, surrounded by books and parchment, with a quill pen in hand and an open scroll before him. The room is dimly lit, with a single candle casting a warm, golden glow on his face and illuminating the parchment. Van Bijlert's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and texture to the painting. The folds of St. Matthew's robe and the creases in the parchment are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, while the shadows create a sense of mystery and intrigue. The muted colors and subtle shading give the painting a somber and introspective mood, reflecting the spiritual nature of St. Matthew's work. The artist's mastery of oil painting techniques is evident in the rich, velvety texture of the fabric and the delicate, almost translucent quality of the parchment. This painting is a testament to Van Bijlert's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. It is a beautiful and moving representation of St. Matthew in the act of writing the Gospel, and a reminder of the importance of contemplation and spiritual reflection in our lives. Jan van Bijlert's "St. Matthew" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly Dutch painting of the 17th century. It is a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its beauty and depth.
