EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century illuminated manuscript, known as the Codex of Predis, presents a poignant scene from Christian tradition: The Risen Jesus Appears to Thomas. In this depiction, Jesus, with a serene expression and an aureole surrounding his head, reaches out to Thomas, inviting him to touch his wounds and dispel his doubt. Thomas, shown with a shocked and incredulous expression, hesitantly places his hand into Jesus' side. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and intricate floral designs, typical of the Renaissance period. Christopher Predis, the Flemish artist who created this masterpiece, expertly employs the use of vibrant colors and intricate details to bring the story to life. Jesus is depicted wearing a robe and tunica, while Thomas dons a simple tunic and sandals. The artist's skillful use of perspective and shading adds depth and dimension to the image. This scene holds significant meaning for Christians, as it represents the moment when Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, overcomes his disbelief and affirms his faith in the resurrected Christ. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and the power of doubt, as well as the transformative nature of encounters with the divine. The Codex of Predis is a testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and this particular scene is a powerful reminder of the enduring power of faith and the human capacity for doubt.
