Christus voor Pilatus 1512 - 1599

This miniature, *Christus voor Pilatus*, depicts the moment when Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate. The scene is set in a courtyard, with a Roman soldier kneeling and presenting Jesus to Pilate. The painting is part of a larger manuscript, a *Book of Hours*, made in the Netherlands between 1512 and 1599. The artist, unfortunately, remains anonymous. The detailed figures and vibrant colors are characteristic of the Netherlandish style of miniature painting. This miniature is a poignant reminder of the Passion of Christ and its central role in Christian faith.
