Christ before Pilate

About this work

This image shows three men in a tense scene. The man in the center wears a crown of thorns and a red robe, standing between two others. The man on the right holds a staff and looks stern, while the man on the left leans on a shield. The background has simple buildings and a blue sky with wavy lines. The painting uses bright, flat colors and bold outlines, typical of its time. The figures look stiff and symbolic, not very lifelike. Next, look up technique: woodcut to see how this image was made.
