Matteo Ricci, SJ was an Italian Jesuit priest, and one of the founding figures of the Jesuit China Mission.

Matteo Ricci, SJ (October 6, 1552 - May 11, 1610; simplified Chinese: Limadou; courtesy name: Xitai) was an Italian Jesuit priest, and one of the founding figures of the Jesuit China Mission. Painted in 1610 by the Chinese brother Emmanuel Pereira (born Yu Wen-hui), who had learned his art from the Italian Jesuit, Giovanni Nicolao. The age is incorrect: Ricci died during his fifty-eighth year. The portrait was taken to Rome in 1616 and displayed at the Jesuit house together with paintings of Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier. It still hangs there.
