In a novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, "The Wheel of Darkenss", the painting is described thus:
“Then you know there were few images on this earth more sublime. Or more beautiful.
Look at the expression of intense effort on Matthew’s face— as if every word of the Gospel
he’s writing was struggling up from the very fiber of his being. And compare it to the languid
approach of the angel assisting him— the way the head lolls; the half-naïve, half-coy posturing
of the legs; the almost scandalously sensual face. Look at the way Matthew’s dusty left
foot kicks out at us, almost breaking the plane of the painting. No wonder the patron refused
it! But if the angel seems effeminate, we only need to glimpse the power, the glory in those
magnificent wings, to remind us that we are in the presence of the divine.” —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.161.36.146 (talk) 21:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Suggest a B&W image, instead of colour
[edit]Given that no colour photographs of the original exist, but that black and white photographs do, wouldn't it be more true to use a black and white photograph in the info box, to represent what we "know" about the image, perhaps with a colourized one in body of the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tedd (talk • contribs) 14:57, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
