The Incredulity of Saint Thomas is a tempera painting created by Greek painter Emmanuel Tzanes.
[1][2] According to the account of the Gospel of John; the Apostle Thomas doubted to believe the resurrection of Jesus Christ without direct personal experience.
Countless Greek and Italian painters have artistically depicted the dramatic event.
One was an engraving completed by famous German artist Albrecht Dürer in the early 1500s featuring the dramatic event also entitled the Incredulity of Saint Thomas and the other is a painting entitled The Incredulity of Thomas created by Maerten de Vos painted in the middle of the 1500s.
Two other notable Italian works feature similar complex geometric structures in the background.
It is similar to two other works completed by Tzanes entitled Christ Healing the Blind and the Samaritan Woman at the Well.
Thomas has an overwhelming expression of joy that he can see Jesus Christ through direct personal experience.
Tzanes escapes his traditional Cretan mannerism by adding spatial depth and three-dimensionality to his canvas.
