"Apostel Mattheüs" (c. 1470-1491) is an engraving by the German Renaissance artist Martin Schongauer. The artwork depicts the apostle Matthew holding a halberd. It is a characteristic example of Schongauer's work, known for its detailed engravings and realistic portrayal of figures. The engraving's fine lines and delicate shading create a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the apostle's weathered face and the flowing drapery of his robe.
