About the piece
Attributed to Karel van der Pluym, a pupil and relative of Rembrandt, this 1657 work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's mastery of light and psychological depth. St. Matthew is depicted in a moment of quiet concentration, his weathered features illuminated by a soft, warm glow as he records sacred text under the gentle guidance of an angel.
