"Christus aan het volk getoond" is an etching by Pieter de Jode I. It depicts the biblical scene where Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the crowd before his crucifixion. The artwork showcases de Jode's mastery of detail, with intricate rendering of the figures' expressions and postures. The use of shading creates a sense of depth, placing Jesus in a prominent position as the center of attention. The scene is filled with dramatic tension, showcasing the power dynamics between Jesus, Pilate, and the crowd. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Northern Renaissance art and offers insight into the religious beliefs of the time.
