"Doubting Thomas" is a renowned Baroque painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, better known as Guercino. This artwork, dating from 1621, depicts the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (20:24–29), where the apostle Thomas, also known as Didymus, is invited by the resurrected Jesus to put his finger into the nail marks in His hands and his hand into His side to overcome his skepticism about the resurrection.

Guercino's interpretation of this scene is celebrated for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures. The painting showcases Guercino's mastery of light and shadow, creating a powerful contrast that enhances the realism and the spiritual gravity of the moment. The composition focuses on the interaction between Christ and Thomas, with the latter's incredulity and the former's gentle reproach being central themes.

The work was commissioned by the lawyer Vincenzo Giustiniani, a notable patron of the arts, who amassed an impressive collection of paintings including several by Guercino. "Doubting Thomas" was part of this collection, which was documented in the Giustiniani inventory of 1638. The painting's provenance and its influence on subsequent art highlight its significance in Guercino's oeuvre and its enduring legacy in the canon of religious art.

Today, "Doubting Thomas" is held in a private collection, but it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination, exemplifying the emotional power and technical skill that characterize Guercino's work. Its depiction of doubt and faith resonates with viewers and provides insight into the religious and cultural context of the 17th century.
