Caravaggio's *Incredulity of Saint Thomas* (1602) is a dramatic portrayal of the biblical story in which Thomas doubts the resurrection of Jesus. The painting utilizes chiaroscuro, a technique where strong contrasts of light and dark create a sense of realism and heighten the dramatic moment. Thomas, with a look of disbelief on his face, reaches out to touch the wound in Jesus' side. This iconic image, now housed in Sanssouci Palace, exemplifies Caravaggio's mastery of realism and emotion.
