About the Artwork
“The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew,” painted by the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio between 1599 and 1600, is a captivating masterpiece that transports viewers to a moment of profound sacrifice and faith. This oil-on-canvas artwork resides in the Contarelli Chapel of the church of San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, where it hangs opposite another Caravaggio masterpiece, “The Calling of Saint Matthew.” The painting vividly portrays the martyrdom of Saint Matthew the Evangelist, author of the Gospel of Matthew. Tradition holds that Saint Matthew was killed on the orders of the Ethiopian king while celebrating Mass at the altar. The composition captures the tension and tragedy: the saint, rebuking the king’s lust for his own niece (a nun and thus the bride of Christ), faces a soldier sent to execute him. The play of light and shadow, Caravaggio’s hallmark, intensifies the emotional turmoil. Imagine having this powerful and historically significant artwork as a print—a testament to courage, conviction, and the enduring legacy of Saint Matthew!Product Features
