Christus voor Pilatus 1806

"Christus voor Pilatus" (Christ before Pilate), an 1806 engraving by English artist Charles Howard Hodges, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus being brought before Pontius Pilate. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, portrays the dramatic moment where Jesus stands accused by the Jewish leaders, while Pilate sits in judgment. Hodges captures the tension and turmoil of the scene, with figures in various states of agitation and despair. This engraving is a fine example of Hodges' skill in depicting historical and religious narratives with meticulous detail and dramatic impact.
