This print, “H. Thomas,” depicts Saint Thomas the Apostle, a figure central to Christian faith. Created in 1596 by Zacharias Dolendo, a Dutch engraver known for his religious imagery, the work showcases the artist’s mastery of detail. Saint Thomas is portrayed in profile, holding a spear and gesturing with his hand, perhaps referencing his famous doubting of Jesus’ resurrection. This print is a fine example of religious art from the late 16th century, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance.
