Evangelist, Matthew ? in polychrome and gilded carved wood, eyes in sulfur, Matthew stands and walks with a deliberate step. In his left hand, he holds a book.
He is dressed in a long tunic and cloak, which rests on his left arm. His clothes are made of rich fabrics, silks and damask. The saint's face is treated with great realism and quality.
Powerful gaze... It rests on an architectural base decorated with cartouches, in wood painted in imitation of marble.
Italy, 17th century.
