4Christ and St. Thomas – Verrocchio

Andrea del Verrocchio’s bronze statue Christ with St. Thomas (1467–1483) was created for one of the 14 niches on the outside walls of the Orsanmichele in Florence, Italy, where it has been replaced by a cast and the original relocated inside the structure, which is now a museum.

It depicts Thomas’s Incredulity, a motif that has appeared regularly in Christian art from at least the fifth century and has been used to illustrate a number of theological issues.
