EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print depicts Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, as he writes the Gospel of Matthew. The figure of Matthew is elegantly dressed and sits at a decorative desk adorned with gold leaf and floral designs. The desk is surrounded by a richly colored border, featuring intricate calligraphy and illuminated letters. The background is filled with a blue and gold floral pattern, adding to the overall sense of luxury and grandeur. The print is believed to be from France, reflecting the strong artistic traditions of the fifteenth century in that country. The figure of Matthew, with his quill pen in hand and an open book before him, symbolizes the importance of the written word in the spread of Christianity and the preservation of its teachings in the New Testament. This beautiful and historic work of art, with its illuminated manuscript-style decoration, is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the past and continues to inspire and captivate viewers today.
