This chapter explores how Verrocchio used techniques and materials in his Christ and Saint Thomas to represent visually Thomas’ revelation of Christ’s material state after the Resurrection as absent presence. Made from bronze (by an artist who touched his material only indirectly) and as shallow reliefs, the sculpture shows through its material facture Thomas’ revelation. The bronze makes Christ physically present but the wax that the artist touched and from which the sculpture was made is materially absent; similarly, although the sculptures appear to be solid sculptures made in the round, they are only shallow reliefs, their physical forms serving as metaphors for the idea of absent presence.
