When Caravaggio Broke All the Rules

Описание: The Incredulity of Saint Thomas was painted by Caravaggio in the early 17th century, at a time when religious art was treated with extreme caution.

The scene depicted in this painting has been debated by theologians for more than 400 years. The decision to show Jesus opening his wound in such a human, almost physical way could be seen as irreverent… or, for many, as a masterpiece.
