EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless biblical scene of "Christ and St Thomas" painted by Henry Corbould in the early 19th century. The image showcases Christ, with a majestic aureole surrounding his head, standing alongside St Thomas, known as the doubting apostle. Both figures are depicted in monochrome ink, emphasizing their solemnity and spiritual significance. Jesus is portrayed with a full beard, dressed in flowing garments that drape gracefully around his body. His compassionate gaze meets St Thomas's kneeling figure, who reaches out to touch the wound on Jesus' side – an iconic moment symbolizing doubt transformed into faith. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate folds of Christ's cloak to the delicate rendering of facial expressions. This portrait exudes a sense of reverence and devotion while capturing the essence of Christian belief. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this powerful artwork invites viewers to reflect upon themes of religion and spirituality. It serves as a reminder of humanity's search for faith amidst uncertainty and encourages contemplation through prayerful gestures. Henry Corbould masterfully brings this New Testament narrative to life through his skillful use of black ink on white paper. Through this composition, he immortalizes an important episode from Christian history while inviting us all to explore our own beliefs and find solace within them.
