This large print formed part of a series depicting Christ and the twelve Apostles. Saint Matthew reads from a book head in his right hand, while he holds a carpenter’s square in his left. In the background, a group of armed men assaults a man lying on the ground before a round temple that contains a pagan statue; this may refer to the legend of Matthew’s martyrdom in Ethiopia.
The print is inscribed at the lower left “Martin de Vos inven[it], and in the center “Adria Collaert sculp[sit],” identifying de Vos as the designer and Collaert as the engraver. Below the border of the image appears “S. MATHEUS / CARNIS RESURREC / TIONEM.”

prints
Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use the simple term "prints." With regard to photographs, prefer "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
