Roeping van Matteüs 1807

"Roeping van Matteüs" (1807) by Ignace-Joseph de Claussin depicts the biblical story of the calling of Matthew, a tax collector. The artwork is a detailed etching, and it showcases a bustling scene with figures arranged around a central table. The scene is set in a spacious hall with columns and a large window bathing the room in light. This engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates de Claussin's skill in representing a dramatic moment in a visually engaging way.
