Further details
HISPANO-FLEMISH SCHOOL EARLY 16th CENTURY, CIRCLE OF JUAN DE FLANDES, THE INCREDULITY OF SAINT THOMAS (?), OIL ON PANEL, IN AN ENGAGED FRAME
The surprised attitude of the saint kneeling before the Christ suggests that this scene depicts the incredulity of Saint Thomas, the apostle who did not believe in Christ's resurrection and who Christ made touch his open wound to prove his return.
The Gospel of John (20:24-29) records Christ's words to Thomas: “Look at my hands [...]”. - which the kneeling saint appears to be doing, however it is the second part of the phrase ‘put your hand out and press it into my side’ that is usually employed when depicting the episode.
