An engraving by Agostino Carracci depicting Saint Matthias, showcasing the artist's skill in printmaking and his adherence to classical ideals. The print features precise linework and a balanced composition.
This engraving by Agostino Carracci depicts Saint Matthias, the apostle chosen to replace Judas Iscariot. Carracci, an Italian painter and printmaker, was a significant figure in the development of the Bolognese School of painting, which sought to revive classical ideals in art. He was known for his skill as a draughtsman and printmaker, producing numerous engravings and etchings throughout his career. His prints often served to disseminate the ideas and styles of the Bolognese School to a wider audience. The print shows Saint Matthias standing, holding a book in his left hand and a halberd in his right, the latter being one of his attributed symbols. He is depicted as an elderly man with a long beard, wearing classical robes and a halo. The background features a simple, lightly rendered landscape. The engraving is characterised by its precise linework and attention to detail, typical of Carracci's printmaking style. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and volume, while the overall composition is balanced and harmonious.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
