About the Item

Matthäus (26) 49 by Fritz Aigner is a powerful and haunting artwork that confronts the viewer with themes of sacrifice, faith, and human suffering. Executed in a dramatic monochrome palette, the composition depicts intense figures gathered around a central nude form, creating a scene charged with spiritual tension and emotional gravity. Aigner’s expressive handling of light and shadow enhances the sculptural quality of the bodies and amplifies the sense of inner conflict. What makes this work truly special is its uncompromising intensity and symbolic depth. Drawing from biblical narrative while remaining timeless and universal, the artwork invites deep contemplation and emotional engagement. Its rarity, strong narrative force, and masterful execution make it a significant and valuable collector’s piece. The work stands as a testament to Aigner’s artistic vision and technical skill. The artwork is signed in the bottom left corner.
