EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the "Incredulity of St. Thomas" bronze sculpture, created by Andrea di Michele Cioni, also known as Verrocchio, during the Early Renaissance period in Florence. The artwork is housed within the Tabernacle of the Merchants Court at the Church of Orsanmichele. The image showcases a moment frozen in time - St. Thomas, one of Christ's apostles, stands before Jesus with an expression of disbelief etched upon his face. His outstretched hand reaches towards Christ's wounded side as if to confirm his doubts. This powerful depiction beautifully portrays both doubt and faith intertwined. Verrocchio's attention to detail is evident in every aspect captured by this photograph; from the intricate folds and drapery of their garments to St. Thomas' sandal-clad feet firmly planted on the ground. The artist masterfully conveys emotion through body language and facial expressions. The sculpture itself represents a significant moment in Christian history - when doubting Thomas finally believes after seeing Jesus' wounds firsthand following his resurrection. It serves as a reminder that even those closest to divinity can experience moments of uncertainty. Dating back to 1467-1483, this masterpiece embodies not only early Renaissance art but also elements reminiscent of both Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that followed later on in Europe's artistic evolution. Photographed around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, this print allows us to appreciate Verrocchio's genius centuries after its creation while providing insight into fashion trends prevalent during that era. Overall, this photograph transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness a pivotal scene from biblical history through Verrocchio's skillful hands and keen eye for detail.
