EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Incredulity of Thomas" an exquisite ivory panel from a 5th-century Byzantine casket. Housed in the prestigious British Museum, this religious artifact depicts a significant moment in Christian history. The scene portrays Saint Thomas, one of Jesus' apostles, expressing his disbelief at Christ's resurrection until he witnesses it firsthand. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of the ivory panel are truly remarkable. The artist skillfully captures the emotions and gestures of each figure, bringing this biblical narrative to life. Saint Thomas stands prominently with his arm raised in astonishment while gazing upon the resurrected Christ who reveals his wounds as proof. This image not only serves as a testament to ancient artistry but also invites contemplation on faith and belief. It prompts viewers to reflect on their own doubts and how they can be overcome through personal experiences or encounters with miracles. As we marvel at this centuries-old masterpiece, we are reminded of its historical significance and cultural value. Through preservation efforts by experts like CM Dixon, this extraordinary artwork continues to inspire awe and reverence for both its artistic merit and spiritual message.
