Carl Bloch's "The Doubting Thomas" depicts the biblical scene where the apostle Thomas demands proof of Jesus' resurrection by touching his wounds. The painting portrays the moment Thomas kneels before Jesus, who reveals the wound marks on his hands and side, confirming his identity. Bloch's meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of emotion create a compelling scene that highlights the tension and disbelief of Thomas, contrasted with the calm acceptance of Jesus. The work is a powerful reminder of the enduring themes of faith and doubt in religious art.
