EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "The Calling of St. Matthew" by Vittore Carpaccio, an Italian Renaissance artist. The artwork is housed in the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni in Venice, Italy, and beautifully captures a significant moment from biblical history. In this scene, we witness the transformative encounter between Jesus Christ and St. Matthew, a tax collector who was called to become one of Christ's disciples. The composition skillfully combines elements of saintly devotion with architectural grandeur as it unfolds within the walls of a custom house. Carpaccio's masterful use of oil on canvas brings to life each intricate detail - from the expressions on the faces of those present to the play of light and shadow that adds depth and drama to the scene. This painting not only represents an important religious event but also serves as a testament to Carpaccio's exceptional talent for capturing human emotions. As we gaze upon this remarkable work, we are transported back in time to witness this divine calling firsthand. It reminds us that even ordinary individuals can be chosen for extraordinary purposes when they open their hearts to faith and embrace their true calling. A© Raffaello Bencini has expertly captured every nuance and essence of Carpaccio's masterpiece through his photography skills, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty and significance for generations to come.
