The Call of Matthew or Levi - A Glimpse into the Biblical Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Call of Matthew or Levi" offers a profound insight into the biblical narrative surrounding Jesus Christ. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from The Life of Jesus Christ by John Fleetwood. In this scene, we witness Jesus extending his divine call to Matthew (also known as Levi), who was once a tax collector. The composition beautifully portrays the transformative power of faith and redemption. As light streams through a nearby window, it illuminates both Jesus and Matthew, symbolizing enlightenment and spiritual awakening. Matthew's expression reveals astonishment mixed with reverence as he grapples with this life-altering encounter. His decision to heed the call marks a turning point in his biography as he embarks on a journey alongside Jesus Christ. The artist skillfully conveys emotion through intricate details and delicate lines that bring depth to each character's portrayal. This engraving serves as an invitation for viewers to reflect upon their own lives and consider moments when they have been called towards something greater than themselves. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the timeless message found within biblical stories – that even those deemed unworthy can find salvation through faith and acceptance of divine guidance.
