"Christ's Calling of St. Matthew and the Agony in the Garden" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio, believed to have been created in the early 16th century. This painting is significant for its depiction of two distinct biblical events within a single composition, showcasing Carpaccio's skill in narrative storytelling and his ability to convey complex religious themes through art.

The left side of the painting illustrates the moment from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 9:9) when Jesus calls Matthew to follow him, signifying Matthew's transformation from a tax collector to one of Jesus's apostles. This scene is often celebrated for its representation of divine calling and conversion. Carpaccio's interpretation of this event is characterized by his attention to detail, use of vibrant colors, and the intricate portrayal of the figures' expressions and gestures, which convey the gravity of the moment.

On the right side, the painting transitions to the Agony in the Garden, a scene from the Gospels that takes place the night before Jesus's crucifixion. Here, Jesus is depicted in a moment of deep prayer and contemplation at the Garden of Gethsemane, as he anticipates his impending suffering. This scene is marked by a dramatic contrast in mood and lighting, reflecting the emotional turmoil and the weight of sacrifice. Carpaccio's ability to capture the human emotion of Jesus and the sleeping apostles in the background adds a poignant layer to the narrative.

"Christ's Calling of St. Matthew and the Agony in the Garden" is a testament to Carpaccio's mastery of religious iconography and his contribution to the Venetian school of painting. The work is often praised for its harmonious blending of two significant New Testament episodes, its rich iconographic content, and its influence on the development of narrative painting during the Renaissance. The painting is an important piece within Carpaccio's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and theological significance.
