Christus voor Annas en de verloochening van Petrus 1590 - 1622

This engraving, titled "Christus voor Annas en de verloochening van Petrus" ("Christ before Annas and the Denial of Peter"), by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, depicts the moment when Jesus is brought before Annas, the high priest, after his arrest. The scene is filled with dramatic tension as Jesus is led by a soldier and surrounded by a crowd. Annas sits on a throne, while Peter, who has denied knowing Jesus, stands in the background. This detailed print, created between 1590 and 1622, is a powerful visual testament to a key event in the Passion of Christ. The use of strong lines and shading evokes the seriousness of the moment, making it a compelling piece for art lovers interested in religious art.
