EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite fresco painting titled "Matthew the Apostle and the Prophet Obadiah" created between 1492-1495. Housed in the prestigious Apostolic Palace of Vatican City, this masterpiece is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creator, Bernardino di Betto, also known as Pinturicchio. The artwork depicts Matthew, one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles, alongside the biblical figure of Obadiah, a revered prophet from the Old Testament. The composition beautifully combines elements from both allegory and literature to convey profound messages about faith, loyalty, and martyrdom. Pinturicchio's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns transport viewers back to Renaissance Italy while simultaneously evoking ancient Israel through references to mythology and prophecies. As we gaze upon this tragic scene filled with symbolism representing good versus evil, we are reminded of Matthew's unwavering devotion as he spreads his message throughout Judea. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who followed Jesus during his time on Earth. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print offers us an opportunity to delve into religious narratives that have shaped our world for centuries. It invites us to explore themes such as sin and redemption while celebrating the enduring legacy of saints like Matthew and prophets like Obadiah.
