Presentation by Alexis Walsh
- calm, reposed demeanor
- more realistic and idealized
- St. Matthew has a halo
- vacant background
- instead of rushing to transcribe the Word of God, St. Matthew is idly and deliberately writing
- 12 3/4" x 9 7/8"
- Early 9th Century
- Vienna
- calligraphic feel
- carefree brush strokes
- loose, rapid movement
- less realistic, stylized
- sense of rushed urgency
- St. Matthew exhibits an intense, anxious expression as he passionately hurries to enscribe preachings recited by the angel located in the upper right-hand corner
