EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative print captured by George Presbury in the mid-19th century. The image depicts a biblical scene from John 19:6, where Jesus Christ is being tried before Pontius Pilate, the governor of the Roman province of Judaea. In this intense moment, we witness a crowd of people surrounding Jesus as they cry out for his crucifixion. The chief priests and officers are seen vehemently condemning him to death while Pilate hesitates to pass judgment. The engraving is based on an early 17th-century painting by renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens. Presbury's black-and-white composition adds depth and intensity to the scene. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the gravity of the situation. We can almost feel the tension in the air as religious beliefs clash with political power. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for both faith and betrayal. It invites contemplation on themes such as justice, religion, and sacrifice. Through this historical lens, we glimpse into a pivotal moment that shaped Christian theology. George Presbury skillfully captures this significant event in Christian history through his meticulous attention to detail and artistic interpretation. His work stands as a testament to his talent as an engraver and his ability to convey complex emotions through visual storytelling. Overall, "They cried out, saying Crucify him" offers viewers an opportunity for reflection on timeless questions about morality and human nature while showcasing Presbury's mastery in capturing historical moments through artistry.
