Stoning of Jesus

About this work

This etching shows a chaotic crowd in an open space with tall columns and steps. Some people are standing, others kneel or crouch, and a few hold sticks or rocks. One person lies on the ground, arms outstretched, while others surround them with angry gestures. The scene feels tense and crowded, with everyone focused on the center. Notice how the artist used sharp, jagged lines to show movement and emotion. The dark lines stand out against the light background, making the scene feel dramatic.
