As one of the authors of the four Gospels (and the Gospel of Matthew), St. Matthew is depicted with his iconic image: a wise, bearded man holding a pen, seemingly inspired, with a winged angel standing beside him (his symbolic tetrahedron), paying homage to his status as a “man” in the Gospels.
Note the exquisite detail at the feet of the marble St. Matthew statue: a faintly visible money bag, symbolizing his transformation from tax collector to devout disciple—a powerful symbol of redemption.
This St. Matthew statue, sculpted from high-quality natural marble, blends the dynamism of Baroque style (flowing robes, lifelike expressions) with timeless craftsmanship.
Every fold of the garment, every strand of the beard, the gentle gaze of the angel—all were meticulously hand-carved by skilled artisans, ensuring the work is both solemn and lifelike.
Perfect for: Church altars, chapels, or prayer gardens; Private meditation spaces (residences, retreat centers); Landscape focal points (its durable marble withstands the ravages of the outdoors).
Size (life-size or scaled down) and marble color (classic white, sunset red, or any other color you prefer) are customizable.
