Christus voor Annas 1586 - 1650

This etching, "Christus voor Annas" (Christ Before Annas), created between 1586 and 1650 by Flemish artist Cornelis Galle I, depicts a scene from the Passion of Christ. It shows Jesus, bound and escorted by soldiers, standing before Annas, the Jewish high priest. The scene is characterized by intense drama, with Annas's anger evident in his raised hand. Galle I skillfully captures the detail and emotion of the moment, creating a powerful visual representation of a significant event in Christian history. This artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
