EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound biblical scene of Doubting Thomas, painted by the talented artist T'oros Roslin in 1268. The image depicts the moment when St. Thomas, one of Jesus Christ's disciples, reaches out to touch the wound on the side of his risen Savior. This act symbolizes Thomas' skepticism and desire for tangible proof of Jesus' resurrection. The painting is part of an Armenian Evangelistary, a sacred book used during liturgical ceremonies that contains excerpts from the Christian Gospels. Its vibrant colors and intricate details showcase Roslin's mastery as an illuminated manuscript artist. In this medieval artwork, we witness not only Thomas' curiosity but also his unwavering faith as he seeks confirmation of Jesus' physical presence after his crucifixion. The composition invites viewers to contemplate their own beliefs and reflect on the significance of doubt within spirituality. The print transports us back to a time when religious devotion was central to people's lives. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in moments of uncertainty, faith can be strengthened through personal experiences with divinity. With its vertical format and focus on male figures, this piece highlights themes such as trust, skepticism, and spiritual connection within Christianity. Through T'oros Roslin's artistry and attention to detail, this depiction remains an enduring source of inspiration nearly eight centuries later.
