EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic image of Saint Thomas, one of the apostles, holding a square rule. Created by Italian artist Marco Dente da Ravenna between 1515-27, this engraving showcases the mastery of Renaissance art. Saint Thomas is depicted standing with his head turned to the right, exuding an air of contemplation and introspection. The intricate details in this portrait highlight Dente's skillful craftsmanship, from the delicate lines etched into Saint Thomas' face to the flowing drapery that adorns his figure. The halo above Saint Thomas' head signifies his status as a saint and emphasizes his religious significance within Christianity. This portrayal also references Rafaello Sanzio's influence on Dente's work, as both artists were renowned during this period for their contributions to religious art. Housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage and its enduring impact on Western culture. It invites viewers to appreciate not only Dente's technical prowess but also Saint Thomas' role as a disciple who famously doubted before becoming a steadfast believer. With its timeless beauty and profound symbolism, this artwork continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the power of faith and how art can transcend time and connect us with our spiritual roots.
