EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Pilate Washing Hands" by Simon Bening, a renowned Flemish artist from the 15th century. Created around 1525-1530 in Bruges, Belgium, this artwork is an exquisite example of Bening's talent and attention to detail. The painting depicts the biblical scene where Pontius Pilate washes his hands as a symbolic gesture to absolve himself of responsibility for Jesus' crucifixion. Bening's use of tempera colors, gold paint, and gold leaf on parchment brings depth and richness to the composition. Measuring approximately 16.8 x 11.4 cm (6 5/8 x 4 1/2 inches), this small yet impactful piece captures Pilate's inner turmoil through intricate brushwork and delicate shading. The meticulous details in every fold of fabric and expression on each face demonstrate Bening's mastery of his craft. Displayed within this print from the Liszt Collection, viewers can appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this artwork. It serves as a testament to Flemish artistry during that era and provides insight into religious narratives that have shaped Western culture. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within a private collection, this print allows art enthusiasts to bring home a piece of history while honoring Simon Bening's contribution to artistic heritage.
