EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Saint Matthew" was created by the talented artist Camille-Auguste Gastine in 1835-67. The artwork, dating back to the 19th century, showcases a male figure standing with grace and poise. Saint Matthew, known as one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, is depicted wearing a magnificent robe that exudes elegance and importance. Gastine's masterful use of color brings life to this piece; vibrant hues harmonize with subtle shades on the gray-brown paper background. The artist employed gouache and graphite techniques along with white gouache highlights to add depth and texture to his creation. The saintly aura surrounding Saint Matthew is emphasized by a radiant halo above his head, symbolizing his divine connection. Holding a tablet in one hand and writing upon it with utmost concentration using the other hand, he exemplifies intellectuality and devotion. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this exquisite artwork stands as a testament to Gastine's exceptional skill in capturing both religious reverence and human emotion within his subjects. Through meticulous attention to detail in clothing attire and facial expression, Gastine successfully portrays Saint Matthew as an iconic figure from history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded of the rich heritage art has bestowed upon us throughout centuries - preserving stories like that of Saint Matthew for generations to come.
