EDITORS COMMENTS
**Plate 5: Christ Before Pilate**
From The Passion of Christ (1596), this striking engraving by Dutch master Hendrik Goltzius presents a poignant moment in Jesus' life. In the midst of turmoil, Christ stands tall before Pontius Pilate, his hands bound and eyes cast downward in resignation. The Roman governor's throne room provides a stark backdrop for this dramatic scene from Matthew's Gospel.
Goltzius' masterful use of chiaroscuro creates an air of tension as Jesus confronts his accusers. The artist's innovative approach to engraving technique imbues the image with texture and depth, drawing the viewer into the narrative. As Pilate surveys Christ with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism, we are reminded that this moment marks a turning point in human history.
This powerful print is plate 5 from Goltzius' celebrated series on The Passion of Christ, which showcases his skill as an engraver and storyteller. With its timeless themes of faith, justice, and redemption, **Christ Before Pilate** continues to captivate audiences today.
