Beskrivning

This print illustrates a New Testament scene, Christ Before the High Priest Caiaphas or a similar episode from the Passion of Christ. Christ stands centrally, surrounded by a large crowd of richly dressed figures, soldiers, and various onlookers within an elaborate architectural setting of arches and columns, suggesting a palace or temple hall. The figures display a range of expressions, emphasizing the dramatic judicial setting. This engraving is a religious print created for the market by the influential Galle publishing house.

Philips Galle was a highly influential Dutch engraver, print dealer, and publisher of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He managed a major print publishing house in Antwerp, producing a prolific number of engravings after the designs of leading Mannerist artists like Maerten van Heemskerck. His work, which included historical and religious subjects, played a significant role in distributing Netherlandish artistic styles across Europe.
