"Heilige Matteüs" is a small, detailed engraving by the Italian artist Antonio da Trento, created sometime between 1520 and 1550. The artwork depicts Saint Matthew, a prominent figure in Christianity, standing with a spear in his right hand. The composition highlights the saint’s profile against a pale background, creating a striking contrast between light and dark. The engraving is small, measuring only 128 millimeters in height and 75 millimeters in width, making it a delicate yet powerful portrayal of a significant religious figure.
