AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Great engraving depicting Saint Matthew in his classical iconography, elderly and bearded, with a pen and inkwell in his hands, papers on the desk and an angel pointing upward as a symbol of divine inspiration.
Exemplar with very small margins, on heavy laid paper with traces of watermarks, in good condition, a bit darkened by time, with very small scattered specks, on the back traces of old binding at the corners and visible old creases (see photo).
At the bottom left, “G. Scotin excudit cum privilegio Regis a Paris proche les Gobelins,” beneath the image the title.
Gerard Scotin was an engraver, pupil of F. de Poilly the elder, whose style he imitates, author of religious subjects from French and Italian masters. The fact that in 1665 he worked at the Gobelins allows dating the engraving presented here to that year.
Depicted, within an oval frame, Saint Matthew in half-portrait turned to the right while he writes his Gospel.
