EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound artwork titled "Pilate Washing Hands Passio domini nostri Jesu Christi" by Urs Graf, the Elder. Created around 1503, this hand-colored woodcut on ivory laid paper is a testament to Graf's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image depicts the pivotal moment in history when Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, washes his hands as a symbolic gesture of absolving himself from responsibility for Jesus Christ's crucifixion. The intricate lines and delicate coloring bring this powerful scene to life, capturing every emotion etched on Pilate's face. Published by Johann Knobloch in Switzerland, this print exemplifies the collaboration between talented artists and skilled publishers during that era. The letterpress on verso adds an additional layer of authenticity and historical significance. Measuring at 217 x 156 mm, this exquisite piece has been carefully preserved on white laid paper. Its presence evokes a sense of reverence and invites viewers to reflect upon the moral complexities surrounding Pilate's decision.
