POLIDORO DA CARAVAGGIO (C. 1495-MESSINA 1543)

The head of St Thomas(?)

c.1527

RCIN 901888

Polidoro da Caravaggio produced some of the most engaging life studies of the Renaissance. The figure here has been given a halo, and looks up with an expression of trepidation; he might be St Thomas at the moment at which Christ showed his wound to the incredulous Disciple after the Resurrection.
