San Matteo e l'angelo, also known as Saint Matthew and the Angel, is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Cavarozzi. Created in the early 17th century, this work exemplifies Cavarozzi's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotional and spiritual narratives through his art. The painting depicts Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles and the author of the first Gospel in the New Testament, receiving divine inspiration from an angel. This moment of divine intervention is a common theme in Christian art, symbolizing the divine guidance and inspiration behind the sacred texts.

Cavarozzi's rendition of this theme is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that was heavily influenced by Caravaggio, under whom Cavarozzi is believed to have studied. The interplay of light and dark in the painting not only highlights the figures of Saint Matthew and the angel but also adds a sense of depth and realism to the composition. The angel, depicted with delicate features and flowing garments, leans towards Saint Matthew, who is shown in a moment of introspection and awe, capturing the profound spiritual connection between the divine and the mortal.

The painting is also remarkable for its detailed and naturalistic portrayal of the human form and the rich textures of the fabrics, which demonstrate Cavarozzi's technical skill and attention to detail. San Matteo e l'angelo is considered one of Cavarozzi's masterpieces and reflects the broader artistic trends of the Baroque period, characterized by emotional intensity, dynamic compositions, and a heightened sense of realism.

Today, San Matteo e l'angelo is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and its powerful depiction of a pivotal moment in Christian iconography. The painting remains an important example of Cavarozzi's contribution to Baroque art and his ability to convey complex theological themes through his evocative and skillful use of paint.
