The Evangelist St. Matthew is one of the four authors of the Gospels in the New Testament often depicted in Christian art with his symbol, the angel. St. Matthew is typically depicted as a bearded man, writing or holding a book, with an angel nearby. The angel symbolizes the divine inspiration that guided St. Matthew as he wrote his Gospel.
