Christus aan het volk getoond 1550 - 1600

This etching, titled "Christus aan het volk getoond" (Christ Shown to the People), was created by Italian artist Giuseppe Scolari in the late 16th century. The artwork depicts the moment when Jesus Christ, wearing a crown of thorns, is presented to the public after his scourging. Scolari utilizes precise lines and detailed shading to capture the solemnity of the scene. The figure of Christ is central, with his sorrowful gaze and tortured body drawing the viewer's attention. The contrasting figures of the Roman soldier and the Jewish elder further emphasize the scene's dramatic narrative. This powerful image speaks to the enduring themes of suffering, faith, and sacrifice present in Christian tradition.
