Upgrade your walls with Jesus Before Pilate, First Interview - James Tissot - Hand Painted Oil Painting. Every fine art reproduction is painted entirely by hand, so the surface carries the depth and variation of an original oil painting rather than the flatness of a digital canvas print.
Jésus devant Pilate. Premier entretien
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.
Following the accusation of blasphemy by the chief priest a crime that demands the death sentence in ancient Jewish tradition Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea, at his palace. Bound and bloodied from his beatings, a seemingly frail Jesus faces Pilate, who wears the pristine toga of his rank. They meet alone in the Hall of Judgment, though several eavesdroppers appear through the screen in the background.
In the moment depicted by Tissot, Pilate asks Jesus whether he is the king of the Jews. Jesus replies that "My kingdom is not of this world" and that his purpose is to "bear witness to the truth." At the conclusion of this interview, Pilate finds that Jesus has committed no crime and sends him to Herod.
