Description: | The inscriptions on the shields held by the figures in this painting refer to Christ's trial before Pilate. The figure of Christ, with his hands tied, crowned with thorns and robed only with the mantle with which his executioners staged his mock coronation as 'King of Israel', recalls the iconography of the Ecce Homo. It also announces the following episode in the Passion, when a despondent Pilate presents Christ to the crowd to demand their verdict. Although the inspiration for this painting may be an unidentified sixteenth-century Flemish print, this is likely to be a seventeenth-century Spanish work. | Subjects: | Christ before Pilate) religion (Passion | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8988... | Go to resource |
