EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Twelve Apostles: St. Thomas" by Giulio Romano, a renowned Italian artist of the High Renaissance era. Created between 1518-20, this exquisite chalk on paper drawing measures 19.8x13.4 cm and is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. In this masterful depiction, St. Thomas, one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles, takes center stage. With meticulous attention to detail, Romano brings out the saint's contemplative expression as he holds a set square in his hand—an emblematic symbol representing his profession as a carpenter. Previously attributed to Raphael, another prominent figure of the Renaissance period, this artwork exemplifies Romano's exceptional skill in capturing human anatomy and conveying emotion through delicate lines and shading. The composition exudes an aura of serenity with its harmonious balance and precise rendering of form—a hallmark characteristic of Old Master drawings from that time. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this image offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the timeless beauty and artistic mastery found within historical works such as these. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by religious iconography, "The Twelve Apostles: St. Thomas" invites you to delve into the rich tapestry of history while admiring the talent that has stood the test of time.
