"St. Matthew and the Angel" (Italian: "San Matteo e l'angelo") is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Gerolamo Romanino, created in the early 16th century. Romanino, known for his expressive and vivid style that often incorporated strong color contrasts and a dynamic use of light, was a prominent figure in the Northern Italian school of painting. His works are characterized by their emotional intensity and the realistic portrayal of figures, often imbued with a sense of immediacy and narrative drama.

The painting depicts the Evangelist Matthew, traditionally identified as one of the authors of the Gospels in the New Testament, in the act of writing his account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. According to Christian tradition, Matthew was often portrayed with an angel who guided his hand, symbolizing divine inspiration. In Romanino's interpretation, this celestial guidance is rendered with a sense of intimacy and personal interaction between the saint and the angel.

"St. Matthew and the Angel" is notable for its humanistic approach to the subject matter, a hallmark of Renaissance art. Romanino's treatment of the figures reflects a deep understanding of human anatomy and emotion, as well as a mastery of the oil medium. The composition is balanced yet dynamic, with the figures positioned in a way that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas, creating a narrative flow that enhances the storytelling aspect of the work.

The painting is also significant for its historical and cultural context, as it was produced during a period of great artistic innovation and religious transformation in Europe. Romanino's work captures the spirit of the Renaissance, with its emphasis on the revival of classical antiquity, the exploration of perspective, and the development of individual artistic expression.

Housed in a prestigious art collection, "St. Matthew and the Angel" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merits and as an example of Romanino's contribution to the Renaissance movement. Its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent generations of artists who were inspired by Romanino's bold use of color and his ability to convey complex human emotions through his art.
