This work is linked to Matthew 1:1
St Matthew is often depicted with an angel-like boy. Contrary to the other evangelists his attribute is not an animal but a human being. That is because his gospel begins with a list of fathers and sons, Jesus' family tree.
The painting is part of a series with Luke and Mark.

St Matthew is often depicted with an angel-like boy. Contrary to the other evangelists his attribute is not an animal but a human being. That is because his gospel begins with a list of fathers and sons, Jesus' family tree.
Rembrandt has the boy whisper something in Matthew's ear. Perhaps the apostle was short of inspiration while writing his gospel. The boy resembles Rembrandt's son Titus.
This is one of five portraits of apostles Rembrandt made in 1661.
Peter Paul Rubens 1577 – 1640
St Matthew
oil on panel (107 × 82 cm) — c. 1611
This work is linked to Matthew 1:1
Around 1612 Rubens made a series of portraits of the apostles, in commission of the duke of Lerma. Matthew is shown holding a weapon. The weapon refers to the martyrdom which the catholic church says he suffered.
