The Evangelist St. Matthew is one of the four authors of the Gospels in the New Testament often depicted in Christian art with his symbol, the angel. St. Matthew is typically depicted as a bearded man, writing or holding a book, with an angel nearby. The angel symbolizes the divine inspiration that guided St. Matthew as he wrote his Gospel.
Guido Reni (1575–1642) was an Italian painter of high-Baroque style. He painted primarily religious works, as well as mythological and allegorical subjects. Active in Rome, Naples, and his native Bologna, he became the dominant figure in the Bolognese School, and his eclectic classicism was widely influential.
