The statuary group of the Incredulity of St. Thomas by Andrea del Verrocchio is part of the cycle of the fourteen statues of the protectors of the Arts of Florence in the external niches of the church of Orsanmichele. It was commissioned by the Court of Merchandise and dates back to 1466 / 67-1483. It is in bronze and is 241 (Christ) and 203 cm (Saint Thomas). It is the only sculpture of the group not to be all-round: apart from the heads, it is in fact a hollow high-relief without the back side. Today it is conserved inside the Orsanmichele Museum, while on the outside it is replaced by a copy.
