Christ Condemned to Death by Pilate is a 1624 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a chaotic crowd in front of a grand, crumbling building. At the center, a man in robes is kneeling, while others around him wave staffs or point dramatically. One soldier holds a shield with the letters "SPQR." A lone statue stands silently on a pedestal above the scene. The artist used sharp lines to create drama and movement, almost like a sketch come to life. The building’s broken columns and rough textures add to the tension. Next, check out etching to see how artists like Callot made prints with needles.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
