Painting Description
"St. Thomas" is a notable portrait by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance known for his precise and detailed portraits of the European elite, as well as his religious artworks. Painted circa 1523, this work is part of a series of apostle portraits by Holbein, which exemplify his mastery in capturing the individual character and psychological depth of his subjects.
The painting depicts the Apostle Thomas, often referred to as "Doubting Thomas" due to his initial skepticism about the Resurrection of Jesus until he could see and feel the wounds of Christ. In Holbein's portrayal, St. Thomas is typically shown with a contemplative expression, reflecting his quest for empirical evidence and understanding. The apostle is often depicted holding a builder's square, an attribute that symbolizes his profession before becoming one of the Twelve Apostles and his missionary work, which, according to tradition, included building a church with his own hands in India.
Holbein's "St. Thomas" is characterized by its fine detail, balanced composition, and the use of rich colors, which were hallmarks of his portrait style. The artist's ability to convey texture and material, as seen in the rendering of the apostle's robes and the realistic depiction of his skin, demonstrates Holbein's technical skill and his keen observation of the natural world.
The exact location and ownership of "St. Thomas" by Hans Holbein the Younger are not specified in this introduction, as such information would require up-to-date verification to ensure accuracy. Holbein's works are highly valued and are held in various museums and private collections around the world. His portraits of apostles, including "St. Thomas," contribute significantly to the understanding of religious iconography during the Reformation and the broader context of European art history.
