EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned masterpiece, "The Calling of St Matthew" painted by Giovanni Battista Naldini. The oil on canvas artwork is an altarpiece located in the Salviati Chapel within the magnificent San Marco Church in Florence, Italy. Naldini's painting depicts a pivotal moment from biblical times when Jesus Christ calls upon St Matthew to become one of his apostles. The composition exudes a sense of divine intervention and spiritual awakening as Matthew is depicted amidst a group of fellow tax collectors, seemingly caught off guard by this extraordinary encounter. The artist's mastery of Mannerism, a distinctive style prevalent during the Renaissance period, is evident through his use of elongated figures and exaggerated gestures that add drama and intensity to the scene. This altarpiece serves as an embodiment of religious devotion and highlights the transformative power found within Christianity. Captured beautifully by photographer Nicolo Orsi Battaglini, this image allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail and brushstroke present in Naldini's original work. It invites us to reflect upon our own spiritual journeys while marveling at the artistic brilliance that has stood the test of time. Whether you are an art enthusiast or someone seeking inspiration from religious iconography, this print offers a glimpse into one of Florence's most treasured masterpieces - "The Calling of St Matthew.
