EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ivory panel from a Byzantine casket dating back to the early 5th century. The panel depicts two significant moments in Christian history: Pilate Condemning Christ and St Peter Denying Him. In this remarkable artwork, we witness Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, condemning Jesus Christ to crucifixion. The scene is filled with tension as Pilate grapples with his decision while Jesus stands before him, embodying strength and resilience. Adjacent to this powerful image is another pivotal moment - St Peter denying his association with Jesus three times, as prophesied by Christ himself. This poignant portrayal captures the anguish on Peter's face as he succumbs to fear and betrays his beloved teacher. The intricate details of this ivory panel are awe-inspiring; every line etched into the surface tells a story of faith and devotion. Its historical significance lies not only in its religious context but also in its representation of Byzantine artistry during that era. Currently housed at the British Museum, this priceless artifact serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and Byzantium. It reminds us of the profound impact Christianity had on society during ancient times and continues to have today. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back centuries ago when these events unfolded - witnessing both condemnation and denial within one frame.
