Christ presented to Pilate by henchmen 1495 - 1539

Marcantonio Raimondi's "Christ presented to Pilate by henchmen" is a 16th-century engraving that depicts the moment when Jesus Christ, bound and led by Roman soldiers, is brought before Pontius Pilate. The composition, which utilizes a dramatic use of perspective and light, shows Christ standing on a set of stairs, while Pilate gestures towards the soldiers. This engraving exemplifies Raimondi’s skill in translating the expressive style of his teacher, Raphael, into the medium of printmaking, and it highlights the influence of Renaissance art on religious imagery.
