"Ongelovige Thomas" (c. 1650) is an etching depicting the biblical story of Doubting Thomas, in which the apostle Thomas demands to touch Jesus' wounds to believe in his resurrection. This anonymous print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the dramatic moment when Thomas touches the wound in Jesus' side. The print's detail, particularly the careful rendering of the figures' expressions, suggests a skillful artist, though their identity remains unknown. This work is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery and the compelling narrative of the apostle's doubt and faith.
