EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Matthew the Apostle" takes us back to the 17th century, where English School artists skillfully depicted biblical figures. The print showcases St Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, as portrayed in a renowned book by Jeremy Taylor. With a halo adorning his head, St Matthew is shown holding an axe-like weapon known as a battleaxe. This imagery symbolizes his role as both an evangelist and a defender of Christian values. The intricate details captured by the engraver highlight the saint's importance in early Christianity. The illustration originates from "The History of the Life and Death of the Ever-Blessed Jesus Christ, Saviour of the World". Published in London in 1678, this literary work explores significant events surrounding Jesus' life through vivid illustrations like this one. As we admire this remarkable artwork from centuries ago, it serves as a reminder of how religious literature has shaped our understanding and appreciation for Christianity. It also pays homage to talented female writers who have contributed significantly to religious texts throughout history. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into both artistry and spirituality simultaneously. Its historical significance resonates with those seeking insight into early Christian teachings while appreciating fine artistic craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
