Kristus og den vantro Thomas 1882

"Kristus og den vantro Thomas" is an 1882 etching by Danish artist Carl Bloch. Depicting the biblical scene from the Gospel of John, where the apostle Thomas doubts the resurrection of Christ, the artwork features a stark contrast between the two figures, with Christ standing tall and radiating light, while Thomas kneels in disbelief. Bloch's dramatic use of light and shadow, along with his realistic portrayal of human emotion, further emphasizes the central theme of faith. This etching, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Bloch's skill in capturing both the spiritual and human aspects of biblical narratives.
