From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Doubting Thomas is a 1460 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This picture shows two men in a simple room with stone walls. One man is kneeling, touching the other’s side. The standing man wears a red hat and a loose robe. Both have dark hair and beards, and their faces look calm but serious. The background is plain, with just a few lines for a window or arch. The kneeling man is often linked to a story about doubting someone’s identity after they returned from death. This kind of image was common in religious art of the time. Look up technique: woodcut to see how this print was made.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
