St. Matthew was killed on the orders of King Hirtacus of Ethiopia, who sought to marry his own niece — a nun — and was forbidden by Matthew. In the painting, Matthew reaches his hand upward toward a heavenly figure above him as the executioner moves to strike. Caravaggio painted himself into the scene as the last figure in the background. Picture #105.
