The Incredulity of Saint Thomas of Caravaggio (Oh god, where have I put myself into?)

This is one of my favorite paintings, I found it quite powerful: The face of Jesus so calmed and the expression of Thomas. The portraile of the apostols not as young and beautiful but old and 'common', not to mention the incredible achievement of figure volume by the chiaroscuro.

wow, wana put your money where your mouth is dave? there's a fantastic caravaggio in the Uffizi, infact it's probably the only reason to visit other than the doni tondo.
Most of caravaggios most famous pictures are still in their respective churchs around Rome, it was really something visiting and standing in the small chapels surrounded by 2 or 3 of these great pictures

i'm tempted to do a caravaggio piece, i like the dark bg's and use of light in his pics, it's going well. don't you like the amount of comradary going on in this contest ?

It's difficult to capture Jesus' expression when the face is in such a little space... and I don't feel very well right now...

Renuar (edited Dec 5, 2006)

your usage of colours is very rich and prominent. Tremendous.
