Painting Description
Saint Matthew by Gentile Da Fabriano is a distinguished work of art created by the renowned Italian painter Gentile da Fabriano, who was a leading figure of the International Gothic style. Born around 1370 in Fabriano, a town in the Marche region of Italy, Gentile da Fabriano is celebrated for his elaborate and richly detailed paintings that often feature religious themes and figures.
The painting of Saint Matthew is a testament to Gentile da Fabriano's mastery of color, light, and intricate detail. Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and traditionally considered the author of the first Gospel in the New Testament, is depicted with the attributes commonly associated with him, such as a book or scroll, symbolizing his role as an evangelist, and an angel, which is his traditional iconographic symbol.
Gentile da Fabriano's work is characterized by its elegant and refined style, with a particular emphasis on the use of gold leaf and vibrant colors, which create a sense of opulence and divine presence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of textures and the intricate patterns that adorn the saint's garments and surroundings. This meticulous approach not only highlights the saint's sanctity but also reflects the broader aesthetic values of the International Gothic movement, which prized decorative beauty and elaborate ornamentation.
The painting of Saint Matthew is part of a larger altarpiece or series of works that Gentile da Fabriano created for various religious institutions. His works were highly sought after by patrons across Italy and beyond, and they played a significant role in the development of Gothic art in the early 15th century. Today, Gentile da Fabriano's paintings, including Saint Matthew, are revered for their artistic excellence and historical significance, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious life of the period.
