EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the 1922 Oberammergau Passion Play, depicting Peter's denial of Jesus. Created by Henry Traut, this image showcases Andreas Lang in the role of St. Peter, delivering a poignant portrayal of the biblical event. The Oberammergau Passion Play is an extraordinary theatrical production that takes place every ten years in the village of Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany. First performed in 1634 as a vow to God during times of plague, it has since become a renowned tourist attraction drawing audiences from all corners of the globe. In this scene, Lang's expressive performance captures the inner turmoil and conflict experienced by Peter as he denies his association with Jesus three times before the rooster crows. The intricate costumes and attention to detail transport viewers back to ancient Rome as they witness this pivotal moment in Christian history. Henry Traut's skillful composition and use of light add depth and intensity to this dramatic depiction. The postcard format further immortalizes this significant performance for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of the enduring tradition and cultural significance surrounding the Oberammergau Passion Play but also of its ability to evoke profound emotions through artistry and storytelling.
