The Saint Thomas Capital
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.Christ miraculously appears in a locked house in Jerusalem, pulling aside his tunic and holding up his palm so that the incredulous Thomas can inspect his wounds and verify his identity. Flanking pairs of apostles add to the drama of the scene, their outstretched arms and swirling robes creating dynamic patterns.
