About this work

Overview

Created in 1720 by the Italian artist Carlo Innocenzo Carlone, *Evangelist Matthäus und Hl. Gregor* is an oil painting that forms part of the Kunsthistorisches Museum’s collection. The work presents a paired representation of the Evangelist Matthew and Saint Gregory, rendered in the painter’s distinctive visual language.

Subject & Meaning

Technique & Style

Carlone employs the compositional balance and muted palette associated with the Barbizon school, despite his Italian origins. The figures are modeled with soft chiaroscuro, and the brushwork conveys a restrained naturalism that aligns with the movement’s emphasis on atmospheric effect.

History & Provenance
