EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Israhel van Meckenem, depicting Saints Thomas and James the Lesser from his renowned collection, The Apostles. Created in the 15th century, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of these revered figures in Christian history. Saint Thomas, famously known as "Doubting Thomas" is depicted with a halo above his head, symbolizing his sainthood. His expression reflects contemplation and introspection, capturing the moment when he questioned Jesus' resurrection before being convinced by touching His wounds. Beside him stands Saint James the Lesser, also known as James the Minor or Jacques le Mineur. With an aura of serenity surrounding him, he represents humility and devotion to faith. Meckenem's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this medieval masterpiece. The intricate engravings showcase his exceptional talent and dedication to preserving religious heritage through art. This German artist's work has left an indelible mark on art history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print serves as a window into a distant era - a time when religion played a central role in people's lives. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own spiritual journey while appreciating Meckenem's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with religion throughout human history – serving not only as aesthetic pleasure but also as a medium for expressing profound beliefs and inspiring
