Christus voor Herodes before 1732

"Christus voor Herodes" (Christ Before Herod) is an etching by Gabriel Huquier, a French artist active in the early 18th century. This print, created before 1732, depicts the biblical story of Jesus being brought before Herod, a scene often portrayed in art due to its dramatic tension and the presence of powerful figures. The detailed etching captures the moment with a sense of realism, highlighting the interaction between Jesus, Herod, and the surrounding figures. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcases Huquier's skill in creating detailed and impactful prints on religious themes.
