Caiaphas Tearing his Clothes

About this work

This image shows three figures standing outside. The person on the right is holding a long staff and wearing a tall hat and red robes. The two figures on the left are dressed in simpler clothes, with one holding a spear and the other reaching toward them. The background has simple shapes like trees and a building, with bright colors like red, green, and gold. The painting looks like it’s made from wood, with lines carved into the surface and then colored by hand. This method was common in the 1400s. Next, check out the technique: woodcut.
