Apostle · doubt, touch and mission
Caravaggio, Georges de La Tour, Ribera and Lochner show Saint Thomas between verification of the resurrected body, portrait with a pike and missionary martyrdom.
In the Gospel according to John, Thomas refuses to believe in the Resurrection without seeing and touching the wounds of Christ. The Incredulity painted by Caravaggio concentrates four heads and three hands around the wound: light, furrowed forehead and guided finger make faith a bodily experience. Apostle portraits then isolate Thomas with his pike or spear, a traditional attribute of his martyrdom. Georges de La Tour then simplifies the figure with serious lighting and a silent presence; Ribera insists on skin, clothing and popular dignity.

Thomas is recognizable because he asks for proof, but Christian art follows him especially at the moment when doubt becomes commitment.
