Tomb of Gastone della Torre: Incredulity of St Thomas

In the reliefs on the tomb, a floor formed of clods of earth gives the illusion of an independent space in front of the figures. This move to an illusionistic rather than a physical representation of space was accompanied, however, by a slight flatness and loss of solidity in the figures.

The picture shows the scene of Incredulity of St Thomas in the left part of the relief.
