Description

The Doubting Thomas

Carl Heinrich Bloch, 1882

“And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” – John 20: 26 – 28

Kneeling before the Savior, Thomas bows his head in discomfiture at his faithlessness. His raised hands acknowledge that this is the Christ. Three other disciples look on in wonder. Rather than depicting Thomas’s act of touching the Savior’s wounds as is often represented in art, Bloch captures the moment of Thomas’s recognition of the Resurrected Christ. (Excerpt taken from The Master’s Hand: The Art of Carl Heinrich Bloch)

More About Bloch

Carl Bloch was an academic Danish painter who is best known for his paintings depicting the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

He received his artistic training at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Later, while living in Rome for several years, Bloch studied paintings by the great Italian masters.

When he returned to Copenhagen, Bloch quickly established a reputation as a religious painter. This led to major commissions for paintings in churches and chapels of Denmark and Sweden.

His extensive body of work includes over 250 paintings and 78 etchings. Still, Bloch considered his religious works to be his most valuable contributions. His productive career ended early when he died of cancer at the age of only fifty-five.
