THE INSPIRATION OF SAINT MATTHEW BY CARAVAGGIO

2.58

The newer version of the painting is entitled The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, which Caravaggio painted in 1602. Even if it slightly attenuates the crudeness of his first version, the painter didn't eliminate the saint's informal pose. Yet notice how intense the silent dialogue between the angel and the saint is: he seems to draw inspiration for what he will write in his Gospel from their profound exchange of glances.
