[H2]A Masterpiece of Baroque Art[/H2]
[B]The Calling of Saint Matthew[/B] is a masterpiece by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an Italian maestro who left an indelible mark on Baroque painting. This captivating oil painting depicts the moment when Jesus Christ calls upon the tax collector Matthew to follow Him, and it was completed in 1599-1600 for the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi, a French national church and museum located in Rome, Italy.
[H2]A Spiritual Awakening[/H2]
In this powerful painting, Caravaggio expertly captures the essence of spiritual awakening as Matthew rises from his seat at the table to follow Jesus Christ. The gloom and the canvassed window situate the table indoors, while Christ brings light into the scene, symbolizing His divine nature and the enlightenment that comes with following Him.
[H2]A Part of a Larger Narrative[/H2]
The Calling of Saint Matthew is one of three Caravaggio canvases in the Contarelli Chapel, hanging between The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew and The Inspiration of Saint Matthew. Together, these paintings tell the story of Matthew's life, from his calling to his martyrdom.
