EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic of Doubting Thomas, dating back to the 12th century. The artwork is found in the nave of Monreale Cathedral, nestled in the picturesque region of Sicily, Italy. Its vibrant colors and intricate details are a testament to the Norman craftsmanship that flourished during this era. The image captures a moment from Christian history when Doubting Thomas encounters Jesus after his resurrection. The male figure depicted represents Thomas himself, who famously doubted Christ's resurrection until he saw and touched his wounds. This powerful scene serves as an emblematic reminder of faith and belief within religious traditions. Monreale Cathedral itself holds great historical significance as it was commissioned by King William II, also known as William Rufus or William the Red, who ruled over England during that time. It stands as a testament to both his devotion to Christianity and his patronage of art and architecture. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and spirituality that emanates from this ancient artifact. It serves as a visual link between past and present, inviting us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage preserved within Monreale Cathedral's walls.
