The Doubtful Thomas 

Gerard van Honthorst's "The Doubtful Thomas" depicts a scene from the Gospel of John, where Thomas, an apostle of Jesus, doubts the resurrection of Christ. The painting features a dramatic chiaroscuro effect, highlighting the figures with strong light and shadow, characteristic of Honthorst's Caravaggist style. Thomas is shown in the foreground, his finger reaching out to touch the wound in Jesus' side, seeking proof of his resurrection. The scene captures the moment of doubt and uncertainty, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of faith and the power of belief.
