EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn's iconic painting, "Doubting Thomas" created in 1634. The artwork beautifully illustrates a significant episode from the New Testament found in St John's Gospel (Ch20, vs19-29). In this scene, the Apostle Thomas is depicted expressing his skepticism and doubt regarding the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The composition captures the intense moment when Thomas reaches out to touch the wound on Jesus' side, seeking tangible proof of what he sees before him. Rembrandt skillfully portrays Thomas' curiosity and uncertainty through his expressive facial features and body language. The painting not only explores themes of doubt but also delves into faith and spirituality. It serves as an inspiration for believers who may question their own convictions at times. Through this biblical narrative, viewers are reminded that doubts can be resolved by seeking truth with an open mind. Rembrandt's masterful use of light adds depth and emotion to the painting. The illuminated figures stand against a dark background, emphasizing their significance within the composition. This technique draws attention to Jesus' wounds while symbolizing enlightenment and divine presence. Displayed prominently at Moscow's Pushkin Museum, this print invites contemplation on themes such as friendship, togetherness, and religious devotion. As one gazes upon it, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand an eyewitness account of Saint Thomas encountering his risen Savior. Overall, this remarkable artwork by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn continues to captivate audiences with its profound portrayal of doubt transformed into unwavering faith through personal experience with divinity.
