Apostle chosen · drawing of lots and loyalty
Van Dyck, Rubens, Lochner and a panel by Jacob Cornelisz show Matthias, apostle chosen after Judas, between portrait, donor and martyr.
Matthias appears in the Acts of the Apostles when the community seeks to replace Judas Iscariot. Two candidates are proposed, Joseph Barsabbas and Matthias; after prayer and drawing lots, Matthias joins the Eleven. This late election explains its importance in apostolic cycles despite its absence from the initial evangelical lists. The portraits of Van Dyck and Rubens integrate him into large series of apostles with an isolated, robust and concentrated figure. A panel by Jacob Cornelisz perhaps associates Matthias with a donor, showing how the identity of the saint can depend on attributes and a reverse. Stefan Lochner perhaps associates Matthias with a donor, showing how the identity of the saint can depend on attributes and a reverse. Stefan Lochner perhaps associates Matthias with a donor, showing how the identity of the saint can depend on attributes and a reverse. Stefan Lochner develops his martyrdom in a narrative cycle. THE traditions differ on his mission and death; axe, halberd or book can serve as attributes. The selection "Saint Matthias /Saint Mathias" notably compares Saint Matthias /Saint Mathias and Saint Mathias. His reading favors the story.
Matthias is the apostle of replacement without erasure: chosen to restore the number, he then receives his own identity.
