Painting Description
"St. Matthew and the Angel" (1655-1660) is an oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, known simply as Rembrandt. This work is part of a series of paintings depicting the four evangelists, each accompanied by their traditional symbol. In this painting, St. Matthew, the author of the first Gospel in the New Testament, is shown in the act of writing his account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The angel, symbolizing divine inspiration, appears beside him, guiding his hand.
The painting is a prime example of Rembrandt's mature style, characterized by his dramatic use of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, and his powerful portrayal of human emotion and spirituality. The composition is intimate, with St. Matthew and the angel closely engaged in their celestial collaboration. The evangelist's focused expression and the gentle guidance of the angel convey a sense of solemnity and devotion.
Rembrandt's skill in rendering textures is evident in the depiction of the rich fabrics and the aged skin of St. Matthew, highlighting the artist's mastery of detail and his ability to create a lifelike presence. The painting's palette is subdued, with earthy tones punctuated by the luminosity of the angel's presence, drawing the viewer's attention to the divine inspiration at the heart of the scene.
"St. Matthew and the Angel" is not only a testament to Rembrandt's artistic genius but also reflects the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century Protestant Netherlands, where biblical themes were commonly explored in art. The painting invites contemplation on the nature of divine inspiration and the human experience of the sacred.
Today, the painting is held in a prestigious art collection and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Rembrandt, offering insight into the artist's personal interpretation of religious subject matter and his unparalleled ability to capture the essence of spiritual introspection on canvas.
