St Matthew the Evangelist is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a man standing in a stone archway, dressed in a long robe with his right arm outstretched and holding a staff. He has short dark hair and a beard, and his gaze is directed upwards. The archway is made of light-colored stone, with a rounded top and two pillars on either side. The background of the painting is a plain wall, which provides a simple yet elegant backdrop for the subject. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure of the man. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds a sense of drama and emotion to the scene, making it a compelling work of art.
