This panel, painted by the Sienese artist Luca di Tommé, depicts a scene from the life of Saint Thomas. The artist, active between 1330 and 1389, is known for his detailed and expressive style, evident in the figures and their gestures. This scene showcases the iconic moment of Saint Thomas’s disbelief of the resurrection of Christ, demanding to touch the wounds of Jesus to believe. This artwork, likely part of a larger altarpiece, offers a glimpse into the artistic landscape of 14th-century Siena, a time marked by vibrant religious imagery and emotional intensity.
