EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "Christ before Annas" by Martin Schongauer. Created between 1435-1491, this engraving from the 15th century depicts a pivotal scene from the New Testament. In this powerful image, we see Jesus Christ standing before Annas, the high priest of Judea. Bound and barefoot, Jesus exudes an aura of calmness and dignity despite his predicament as a prisoner on trial. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing the intricate folds of Jesus' robe and capturing the intensity of emotions on both faces. Schongauer's German heritage shines through in his meticulous craftsmanship, adding depth to this Northern Renaissance artwork. Through his skillful use of light and shadow, he creates a dramatic atmosphere that draws viewers into the scene. As we gaze upon this piece at The Met museum or within our own homes, it serves as a reminder of Christ's unwavering faith even in times of adversity. It also invites us to reflect on themes such as justice, religion, and spirituality that have resonated throughout centuries. Let this remarkable print transport you back to an era where art was not only visually stunning but also served as a medium for storytelling and contemplation.
