"Saint Matthew and Scenes from his Life 2" is a notable work attributed to the Italian painter and sculptor Andrea di Cione, commonly known as Orcagna.

This particular piece is a testament to his skill in narrative composition and his ability to convey religious themes with profound emotional depth.

The artwork, believed to have been created in the mid-14th century, is a polyptych, a multi-paneled altarpiece that was a common format in Gothic ecclesiastical art. The central panel typically features Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and the author of the first Gospel in the New Testament. Surrounding this central depiction are various scenes from the life of Saint Matthew, illustrating key moments and miracles associated with him. These narrative scenes are meticulously detailed, showcasing Orcagna's adeptness at storytelling through visual art.

The figures are rendered with a sense of grace and solemnity, reflecting the religious reverence of the period. The gold leaf background, a common feature in Gothic altarpieces, adds a divine luminosity to the scenes, enhancing their otherworldly quality.

This work not only serves as a devotional object but also as a historical document, providing insight into the religious and artistic culture of 14th-century Italy. Orcagna's influence is evident in the way he harmonizes the narrative and decorative elements, creating a cohesive and spiritually uplifting experience for the viewer.
