Painting Description
"St Matthew Raising a Young Man from the Dead" is a notable panel from the "Altarpiece of St Matthew and Scenes from his Life," a work created between 1367 and 1370 by the Italian brothers Andrea and Jacopo di Cione, commonly known as Orcagna. This altarpiece is a significant example of 14th-century Florentine art, reflecting the religious and artistic sensibilities of the time. The panel depicts the miraculous event of St. Matthew, one of the twelve apostles, reviving a deceased young man, an episode that emphasizes the saint's sanctity and divine power.
The altarpiece originally adorned the Church of San Matteo in Pisa, which was a testament to the brothers' artistic prowess and the wealth and devotion of the church's patrons. Andrea di Cione, the elder of the two, was a painter, sculptor, and architect, while Jacopo was primarily a painter. Their collaboration on this altarpiece showcases the synthesis of their talents and the Gothic style that was prevalent in Italy during the period.
The panel is executed in tempera and gold on wood, a common medium for Italian altarpieces of the era. It features a rich color palette and meticulous attention to detail, both characteristic of Orcagna's work. The narrative scene is set within a Gothic architectural framework, which was a stylistic device used to give structure to the composition and to create a sense of space and depth.
"St Matthew Raising a Young Man from the Dead" is not only a religious artwork but also an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the artistic traditions and devotional practices of 14th-century Florence. The altarpiece as a whole, and this panel in particular, are celebrated for their artistic merit and for the light they shed on the period's iconography and the role of art in the context of worship and veneration.
Today, the altarpiece is fragmented, with its pieces dispersed across various museums and collections. The panel depicting St. Matthew's miracle is a focal point for scholars studying the Orcagna brothers' oeuvre and the broader narrative of Italian Gothic art. Its preservation and study contribute to the understanding of the historical and artistic legacy of the period.
