Saint Matthew and the Angel is a c. 1635 oil on canvas painting by Guido Reni.[1] After being given to the Holy See in 1924 by Antonio Castellano of Naples it long hung in Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini.[1] It was misattributed to Lucio Massari from 1955 until 2010.[1] It regained its true attribution thanks to a 1642 identification document found on its reverse and now hangs in the Pinacoteca Vaticana, also in Rome.[2]
