Composition & Subject

Incredulité de Saint Thomas
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.

The apostle Thomas, who had received the news but not a visit from the risen Christ, refuses to believe in the reality of the Resurrection. When Christ again appears to the disciples, Thomas is still not convinced and, for confirmation, wants to put his fingers into Christ’s wounds. Jesus invites him to do just that but then reproaches him for his lack of belief. Now kneeling before his master, Thomas hangs his head in shame, as Jesus bares his wounded side and declares to Thomas, as well as to all who doubt, "Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
