The Boy Jesus in Temple Adriaen van der Werff (1659-1722 Dutch)

The Calling of Saint Matthew ca. 1625-30 Giovanni Battista Caracciolo One of the outstanding figures of Neapolitan painting, Caracciolo was deeply influenced by Caravaggio, who worked in Naples in 1606-7 and again in 1610. The artist shows the moment when Jesus asks Matthew, an avaricious tax collector, to renounce his worldly possessions and follow Him (Matthew 9:9). Jesuss gaze and outward gesture present the viewer with the same quandary as Matthew's: whether to embrace Christs invitation or the money bag at the edge of the canvas..
