"The Calling of St Matthew" is a significant oil painting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Terbrugghen, created around 1616, during the period of the Dutch Golden Age. This artwork is a prime example of the Utrecht Caravaggism style, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow and a focus on realism and emotional intensity. Terbrugghen, influenced by the works of Caravaggio, whom he studied during his time in Rome, brought back to the Netherlands a tenebristic style, which is vividly reflected in this painting.

The painting depicts the moment from the New Testament when Jesus Christ calls Matthew to abandon his work as a tax collector and follow him, a scene that has been a popular subject among many Baroque artists. Terbrugghen's rendition is particularly noted for its stark chiaroscuro and the intense, yet subtle, interaction between the figures. The use of light not only highlights the figures but also enhances the spiritual and transformative moment occurring between Christ and Matthew.

"The Calling of St Matthew" is housed in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, Netherlands. This work is considered one of Terbrugghen's masterpieces, showcasing his skill in blending spiritual narrative with the emerging Baroque aesthetics of the early 17th century. Through this painting, Terbrugghen contributes to the rich artistic traditions that define the Dutch Golden Age, offering a poignant interpretation of biblical storytelling through visual art.
