St. Matthew the Evangelist 1400

"St. Matthew the Evangelist" is an iconic painting by Andrei Rublev, a celebrated Russian icon painter. Created in 1400, this piece depicts the apostle Matthew in the act of writing his Gospel. Rublev's use of a serene and dignified pose, along with the architectural elements in the background, emphasizes the sanctity and importance of Matthew's work. This iconic image, now housed in the Russian State Library, Moscow, is a testament to Rublev's masterful skills and the enduring power of Byzantine art.
