"La Lezione di San Matteo" (The Lesson of Saint Matthew) is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Cavarozzi, an early follower of Caravaggio. This work is considered one of Cavarrozzi's most significant contributions to the Caravaggesque movement, which was characterized by the use of dramatic lighting and realistic depictions of figures. The painting portrays the moment when Jesus calls Matthew to follow him, a scene derived from the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

Cavarrozzi's interpretation of this biblical episode is noted for its intimate atmosphere and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. The artist's mastery in rendering the human emotion is evident in the expressions and gestures of the figures, capturing the transformative moment of Saint Matthew's life with a heightened sense of drama and spirituality.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the early 17th century, during Cavarrozzi's stay in Rome, where he was exposed to Caravaggio's work and the vibrant artistic environment of the time. "La Lezione di San Matteo" is a testament to the influence of Caravaggio on Cavarrozzi and other painters of the period, showcasing the spread of Caravaggism beyond the master himself.
