Paintings Depicting Matthew The Apostle
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In art, the term ''painting ''describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture (as in gestural painting), narration (as in narrative art), and abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract, narrative, sy ...

San Sebastiano Madonna
The San Sebastiano Madonna is an oil on canvas painting by Correggio, dating to around 1524 and now in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. It measures 265 by 161 cm. It was commissioned by the confraternity of Saint Sebastian (''San Sebastiano'') in Modena, probably via sodalist Francesco Grillenzoni, who Vasari recorded as "a very close friend of Correggio" and owner of '' The Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine''. Saint Roch's presence on the right suggests the commission was linked to a plague, probably that in Modena in 1523, leading to a painting date in 1524. Vasari briefly mentions it in its original site. In the 17th century Francesco I d'Este took it for his own gallery, where it was admired by Francesco Scannelli. Like most of the d'Este collection it was bought in August 1746 by Augustus III of Saxony, who took it to Dresden. It became famous early on, as shown by copies in print by Carlo Bertelli Carlo is a given name. It is an Italian form of Charles ...
