The Story Behind the Painting

Les mauvais traitements chez Caiphe
1886-1894
Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper
Brooklyn Museum, United States.

Convicted of blasphemy by the high priests a crime punishable by death Jesus is led away, as the crowd of witnesses pulls his hair, scratches his face, and rains both insults and blows on his body in what Tissot describes as a "diabolical fury." Having blindfolded Jesus, his tormentors now mock his status as a prophet by demanding that he divine which among them has hit him.

As bedroom wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other vintage wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.

Materials & Craftsmanship

From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the fine art brushwork visible and gives the vintage oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
