['Christ and Judas (Maier and Zwink)', 'Barrabas (Joh. Oswald)'] before 1890

This 19th-century photograph by Carl Stockmann depicts two separate scenes from the Passion play. The left image shows Barrabas, a prisoner released instead of Jesus, while the right image depicts Christ and Judas. The composition uses a high-contrast, black and white aesthetic, typical of photography from this era, with dramatic lighting that emphasizes the figures and their expressions. The images provide a visual record of the Passion Play, a tradition that has been performed for centuries, offering insight into the religious practices and artistic expression of the time.
