"The Incredulity of Saint Thomas" is a significant oil painting by the Dutch artist Hendrick Terbrugghen, created circa 1604. As a prominent figure in the Utrecht school of Caravaggisti, Terbrugghen was known for his adoption of Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro and realistic depiction of human figures. This painting exemplifies the Caravaggesque influence on Dutch Golden Age painting, showcasing Terbrugghen's skill in blending Northern European artistic traditions with Italianate elements.

The artwork depicts the biblical episode from the Gospel of John (20:24-29), where the apostle Thomas, doubting the resurrection of Jesus Christ, is invited by Christ to put his finger into the wounds inflicted during the crucifixion. This moment, capturing Thomas's skepticism turning into belief, has been a popular subject for artists, as it explores themes of faith, doubt, and the need for empirical evidence.

Terbrugghen's interpretation of this scene is noted for its emotional intensity and the interplay of light and shadow. The figures are rendered with a strong sense of physicality and texture, while the use of light not only highlights the central action but also adds a spiritual dimension to the narrative. The composition draws the viewer's attention to the hands of Christ and Thomas, emphasizing the tactile verification of Christ's physical resurrection, which is the crux of the story.

"The Incredulity of Saint Thomas" is considered one of Terbrugghen's masterpieces and is often cited as a key example of the Utrecht Caravaggisti's impact on Northern European art. The painting's whereabouts were unknown for a period, but it has since been rediscovered and is now appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. It is frequently studied for its stylistic elements, its reflection of religious attitudes of the period, and its contribution to the development of genre painting in the Netherlands.
