The Incredulity of Saint Thomas
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Mattia Preti, a renowned Italian painter from the Baroque period. Created around 1675, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of MUZA, Muzew Nazzjonali tal-Arti in Valletta, Malta. The painting depicts a significant biblical moment from the New Testament - the incredulity of St. Thomas. The apostle Thomas is famously known for doubting the resurrection of Jesus Christ until he saw and touched his wounds. This artwork beautifully captures that pivotal scene where Thomas reaches out to touch Christ's side with an expression filled with doubt and awe. Preti's skillful use of oil on canvas brings depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing the dramatic effect of light and shadow within the composition. The Roman school influence is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of human emotions. This piece not only celebrates Christian faith but also explores themes such as doubt, faithfulness, and redemption. It serves as a reminder that even those closest to divinity may struggle with their beliefs at times. Through this exceptional photograph by Fine Art Images/Heritage Images, we are granted access to admire Preti's extraordinary talent while immersing ourselves in religious history. This print invites us to reflect upon our own doubts and reaffirm our commitment to faith amidst uncertainty.
