Ongeloof van Tomas Possibly 1705 - 1728

This engraving, titled "Ongeloof van Tomas" (Doubting Thomas) by Matthijs Pool, depicts the biblical story of the apostle Thomas who doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The image shows Jesus appearing to his disciples, with Thomas reaching out to touch Jesus’ wounds to prove his resurrection. The dramatic lighting and the focused interaction between Jesus and Thomas create a powerful and intimate scene. This piece is a poignant example of religious art from the Dutch Golden Age, demonstrating the influence of Baroque artistic trends with a distinct emphasis on realism and emotional depth.
