EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Calling of St. Matthew" a remarkable piece from the Altarpiece of St. Matthew and Scenes from his Life, created between 1367-70 by Orcagna di Cione and Jacopo. The artwork, displayed at the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, depicts a significant moment in biblical history. In this scene, we witness Jesus Christ calling upon Matthew to become one of his apostles. Matthew was formerly a tax collector working at the customs house when he encountered Jesus' divine intervention. The composition beautifully captures the transformative power of this encounter as light illuminates both figures. Matthew is portrayed as a young man with scales symbolizing his previous occupation as a tax collector. He appears startled yet intrigued by Jesus' presence and message. Meanwhile, Jesus stands tall and confident, extending his hand towards Matthew with an invitation to follow him. The painting not only emphasizes the spiritual awakening experienced by St. Matthew but also explores themes of vocation and redemption that resonate with viewers across time and cultures. Through its exquisite use of tempera on panel technique, this trecento masterpiece exemplifies the artistic skill prevalent during that era in Italian art history. As we gaze upon this print capturing such an iconic moment in religious narrative, we are reminded of the timeless significance embedded within these brushstrokes – an eternal call to discover our purpose and embrace transformation through faith.
