History
Saint Matthew and the Angel was completed in 1602. It was destroyed during World War II bombing, while housed in the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin. This work, by a pillar of the Baroque movement, might have provided new information about the artist and patron. Reproductions of the original still survive.
