使徒トマス
Martin Schongauer, a master of the Northern Renaissance, brings us this striking engraving of the Apostle Thomas standing barefoot and dignified. Notice the incredible detail in the heavy, cascading folds of his robes—Schongauer was famous for making copper engravings look as rich and textured as paintings. Thomas clutches a scroll in one hand and grips a long staff, likely his martyr's lance, in the other. The initials 'M t S' at his feet serve as the artist's signature, a mark of such high quality that a young Michelangelo reportedly studied and copied his prints!
