EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and poignant print from The Passion of Christ (1597), Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius masterfully captures a pivotal moment in Jesus' story: His interrogation before Caiaphas, the high priest. Plate 4 of this esteemed series depicts Christ standing tall, his eyes cast downward as if weighed down by the gravity of his captors' accusations. The darkened background and stark lighting create an atmosphere of foreboding and tension, underscoring the solemnity of Jesus' predicament.
Goltzius's use of bold lines and dramatic shading brings a sense of depth and dimensionality to this haunting scene. Christ's figure is rendered in exquisite detail, from the folds on his robe to the subtle expression on his face. The surrounding figures - Caiaphas, Joseph Ben Caiaphas, and other Jewish leaders - are reduced to silhouettes against the darkness, their faces obscured by shadows.
This print not only showcases Goltzius's technical skill but also conveys a profound sense of empathy for Christ as he stands before his accusers. The Passion of Christ is an iconic work in the history of art, and this plate remains one of its most striking and evocative moments.
