"A Tax Collector, Possibly The Calling of Saint Matthew" is a painting attributed to the 16th-century Flemish painter Marinus van Reymerswaele. Known for his detailed and often moralizing depictions of tax collectors, money changers, and lawyers, van Reymerswaele's work reflects the growing scrutiny and criticism of these professions during the Northern Renaissance. This particular painting, which may represent the biblical scene of the calling of Saint Matthew, the tax collector who became one of Jesus' apostles, is an example of the artist's engagement with religious themes alongside his more secular critiques.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, especially in the rendering of textiles, coins, and the accoutrements of the tax collector's trade. The figure in the painting is typically dressed in the fashion of the time, with a fur-lined robe and a hat that denotes his profession and social status. The interior setting is rendered with a sense of depth and realism that invites viewers to consider the moral implications of the subject's occupation.

While the exact date of the painting is uncertain, it is generally believed to have been created in the mid-16th century, a period when van Reymerswaele was active and his style was in full maturity. The painting's provenance and historical context contribute to its significance as a work that not only showcases the artist's technical skill but also provides insight into the societal attitudes of the time.

"A Tax Collector, Possibly The Calling of Saint Matthew" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that encapsulates the intersection of art, religion, and social commentary during the Renaissance. The painting is a testament to Marinus van Reymerswaele's legacy as a painter who captured the complexities of human nature and the moral dilemmas of his era.
