EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature by Cristoforo de Predis, an Italian miniaturist active in the 15th century, depicts an intriguing episode from the New Testament: Pilate Questions Jesus. The scene is taken from the Stories of Saint Joachim, Saint Anne, Virgin Mary, Jesus, the Baptist and the End of the World, a devotional manuscript commissioned by Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan, in 1476. The miniature captures the intensity of the moment as Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, interrogates Jesus Christ. Pilate, dressed in the regal robes of a Roman magistrate, sits on a raised throne, his expression a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. Jesus, wearing a simple tunic and with a calm and resolute gaze, stands before him, his hands bound. The scene is set against a backdrop of the bustling Roman city, with soldiers and officials milling about in the background. The miniature is a masterful example of the art of illuminated manuscripts, with intricate details and vibrant colors. The use of gold leaf adds a sense of grandeur and otherworldliness to the scene. The manuscript itself was a symbol of wealth and power, and was likely used for private devotional purposes by the Duke and his court. The episode of Pilate questioning Jesus is a pivotal moment in the Passion narrative, as it sets in motion the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion. The miniature offers a glimpse into the rich artistic and devotional traditions of the European Middle Ages, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the biblical story to inspire and captivate.
