From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Jesus before Pilate is a 1642 ink by Wenceslaus Hollar, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a scene from the Bible, with Jesus standing before Pilate. Jesus is dressed in a simple robe, while Pilate wears a more elaborate outfit. The two figures are surrounded by other people, some of whom are holding staffs or other objects. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings, with a large archway in the center. The etching is done in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and shading used to create depth and texture. The level of detail and realism in this etching is reminiscent of the work of Albrecht Dürer, another artist known for his detailed and realistic etchings.
Wenceslaus Hollar (Czech: Václav Hollar (Czech pronunciation: ), German: Wenzel Hollar; 23 July 1607 – 25 March 1677) was a Czech engraver, etcher and painter.
