My Lord and my God
Title: The Incredulity of St. Thomas Artist: Bernardo Strozzi (Italian [Genoese], 1581-1644) Date: ca. 1620 Genre: religious art (Christianity) Period: Baroque Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 89 cm (35 in) high x 98.2 cm (38.6 in) wide
This painting illustrates the story of the Apostle Thomas, nicknamed "Doubting Thomas," as recounted in Chapter 20 of the Gospel of John. Thomas, having previously refused to believe that the other Apostles had seen the risen Christ, places his finger in the wound Christ received from a centurion's spear while on the Cross, proving that Christ is indeed a flesh-and-blood human and not a ghost or apparition. Strozzi eliminates nearly all background detail to focus on the two key figures. Thomas's face is not seen, as he is intent on the figure of Christ. Christ himself is shown with a halo in soft focus; he still wears the graveclothes in which he was buried. Two onlookers frame the action; the figure on the right may be John himself.
Bernardo Strozzi began his career in his native Genoa as a painter in the then-prevailing Mannerist style. He subsequently came under the influence of Flemish artists such as Rubens and developed a more naturalistic style, which he brought with him to Venice in the 1630s. Over the last decade of his life, he became one of the most significant figures of the Venetian Baroque.

Thomas the Apostle
Thomas the Apostle was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Thomas is commonly known as "Doubting Thomas" because he initially doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he was told of it (as is related in the Gospel of John); he later confessed his faith ("The lord of me and the God of me") on seeing the places where the wounds appeared still fresh on the holy body of Jesus after the Crucifixion of Jesus.
