This framed engraving, made in the red chalk style, represents the apostle Matthew writing his Gospel under the dictation of the angel. The angel is Matthew's symbol, because his Gospel begins with the human genealogy of Jesus, with the story of Joseph who also receives a visit from an angel announcing to him that Mary's unborn child was fathered by the Holy Spirit.

The engraving was made after the Guercin "Guercino inv" and also bears the words "F Bartolozzi engraver to His Majesty sculp 1770".

A self-taught artist, Guercin (1591-1666), whose real name was Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, first trained with painters in his town of Cento, then left to study in Bologna, where he had access to the works and the artistic environment. of the Carracci. What followed were years of work in Venice, Rome, Bologna and a prolific body of work, which can be found today in many museums around the world and churches in Italy.
