This oil painting by the Venetian artist Vittore Carpaccio, created in 1507, features St. Thomas in Glory between St. Mark and St. Louis of Toulouse. The central figure of St. Thomas is shown in a contemplative posture, pointing upwards towards a heavenly vision of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child surrounded by angels. The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the figures' garments and the landscape backdrop, and is a prime example of the Venetian Renaissance style that flourished in Italy during this period. It can be seen at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart museum in Germany.
