The "Evangelist Matthew" is a renowned sculpture created by the illustrious Italian Renaissance artist Donatello, whose full name is Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi. This work exemplifies Donatello's mastery in sculpting and his innovative approach to form and expression, which significantly influenced the trajectory of Western art. The sculpture is one of the four evangelists that Donatello crafted for the niches of the Old Sacristy in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, a project commissioned by the powerful Medici family.

Donatello's "Evangelist Matthew" is celebrated for its dynamic realism and the psychological depth it imparts to the figure. The sculpture portrays Saint Matthew, one of the four authors of the Gospels in the New Testament, in a contemplative pose, capturing a moment of introspection and divine inspiration. The figure is depicted with a sense of gravitas and dignity, reflecting the importance of his contributions to Christian theology.

The work is notable for its detailed rendering of drapery, which flows naturally around the figure, and the expressive facial features that convey a profound sense of inner life. Donatello's innovative use of perspective and anatomical precision in this sculpture marks a departure from the more rigid and idealized forms of the Gothic tradition, moving towards the naturalism that characterizes the Renaissance.

"Evangelist Matthew" stands as a testament to Donatello's skill in capturing human emotion and his ability to infuse his sculptures with a sense of presence and immediacy. This piece, along with his other works, played a crucial role in the development of Renaissance art, influencing contemporaries and future generations of artists. Donatello's contributions to sculpture are widely regarded as foundational, and his works continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance.
