"Saint Matthew" is a 16th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Lucas van Leyden, known as Lucas Hugensz or Lucas Jacobsz. This work is a remarkable representation of the Northern Renaissance style, showcasing van Leyden's unique approach to religious topics. In "Saint Matthew," van Leyden portrays the titular saint – a tax collector turned apostle – in a domestic interior, a setting uncommon for deeply religious works of this period. The artwork achieves a meticulous level of detail and realism, characterized by a precise depiction of elements such as fabrics, houseware, and the interior architectural features.

The painting, indicative of Lucas van Leyden's versatility and creativity, goes beyond mere visual representation. It explores Saint Matthew's narrative and the moral complexities inherent in his transformation from tax collector to apostle of Jesus. "Saint Matthew" attests to van Leyden’s ability to weave layers of meaning through his visual storytelling, an approach that has earned him recognition as a forerunner in the field of narrative painting.

Lucas van Leyden's "Saint Matthew" is not just an important work within the artist's own oeuvre, but also constitutes a significant contribution to Dutch and European art history. The painting remains a testament to the innovative spirit of the Northern Renaissance, reflecting the shifting paradigms of the time in thematic focus, visual presentation, and symbolic interpretation.
