Saint Matthew the Apostle depicted in the mural painting in the funeral chapel at the village cemetery in Albrechtice nad Vltavou in South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic. Funeral chapels placed on the cemetery wall were decorated with murals in the 1840s by local painter František Mikule conducted with parish priest Vít Cíza, who also composed poems for each mural. The murals were repainted several times during the 19th and 20th centuries and completely restored by the team led by Jitka Musilová in 2010-2013.
