The Incredulity of St Thomas

1522 · Galleria Borghese, Rome

religious

The paintings of the Ferrarese Renaissance share a particularly sensitive observation of nature and the expressive features of the landscape, which play a role in the picture, as in the refined small panels by Mazzolino. See the painting in which doubting Thomas touches Christ's wounds, as a new vision opens before him expressed in the vibrant celestial landscape.

About the Artist

Ludovico Mazzolino

1480 – 1528

Ludovico Mazzolino (also Mazzuoli or Manzulin da Ferrera), Italian painter of the Ferrarese school. His close contacts with Ercole Roberti 's workshop are documented as are those with Boccaccio Boccaccino. His work also reflects the direct influence of Costa and the contacts with transalpine art. Later Raphaelesque tendencies, especially in his pictorial design, can be attributed to a period in Rome.
